Review of Julian Po

An unusual film from USA. My second viewing in 20 years. Wonderful tale bringing out the typical quirky world of a small town (with no bus or train service connecting with the rest of USA): religion, sex, guns, sheriffs, mayors, bored housewives, closet gays, and kids who don't seem to be studying in schools! The script is by director Alan Wade, about whom very little is known except that he directed one more feature film. The script of "Julian Po" was based on a novel called "La mort du Monsieur Golouja" by a Yugoslav writer called Branimir Scepanovic. A very well made low budget-film with good performances by all actors. Rather odd that no one seems to discuss this interesting film which needs more attention from the serious filmgoers! The end scene reminds one of the final scene of Bunuel's "Nazarin."
