Silent Radio (2007)
Cold wind, dark Wyoming highway, diner station, strangers do meet
Like the best of the Twilight Zone, where we had popular access to lesser known filmmakers (directors, actors, writers), and I would regularly have my socks blown off by the art in an unassuming package. Well done, like David Lynch before he was born. The atmosphere's evoked and sustained beautifully by the writing, direction, acting, sound singing seamlessly coherent. The concept was not truly revealed until the last moments, adding yet another layer to the mysterious nonjourney, a stop along the road. Obviously I am writing to encourage these talented folks, and to recommend this film, if you have a chance to see it, but also with a larger hope that independent film and film festivals abound and flourish, and that mainstream media might again find ways to surprise with artful endeavors of recurring newness rather than formula machines of predictability. Meanwhile, checkout your local film festival, and see this one.
