From The Guardian: “It’s funny how a single day can drag while entire years go by in a flash,” sighs Cozy (Lisa Bowman), the narrator of Kelly Reichardt’s debut film River Of Grass. Ain’t that the truth. It was made in 1994 but you might say Cozy is already in her own private lockdown. An unhappily married mother of two, she fills her baby’s bottle with Coca-Cola and spends long afternoons yearning for the day when some nice couple in a station wagon will arrive to take the children off her hands. One night, she absconds to a bar where she meets Lee (Larry Fessenden), a loner with a high forehead and wild tendrils of hair. They flee into the night together, climb a fence and splash around in a stranger’s swimming pool. When the homeowner finds them, Lee lets his gun do the talking, turning himself and Cozy into the Bonnie and Clyde of the Florida Everglades.”

4- Birth of the Living Dead: This is a wonderful documentary about the making of Night of the Living Dead and was directed by Rob Kuhns. There isn’t anything necessarily new in this documentary in terms of the actual making of NotLD, but the various interviews that Kuhns put together are all well done and fascinating, especially the main interview with Romero. You get a real sense of the overall impact of the movie in cinema culture, not just the horror genre. The documentary is also just well-made and slickly produced. I’m still amazed that Kuhns and producer/interview subject Larry Fessenden were able to put together such a watchable and entertaining documentary on such a worn over topic. And if you get the DVD, you have to check out the extended interview segments with Romero. The bits and anecdotes here are terrific.
