Review of Man Push Cart (2006) by Kyle A — 26 Aug 2011
Ramin Bahrani is slowly becoming one of my favorite directors of all time. (Right up there with Rob Zombie, David Fincher, Stanley Kubrick... weird list right?) If you saw Chop Shop and Goodbye Solo this film is in the same vein.
It really shows the underbelly of New York, but not in the stereotypical way of drug dealers and hookers. But more of the night workers. The bottom of the totem pole. The story is powerfully subtle. There are just moments with very little movement and very little dialogue, but you feel so much of what the characters are thinking and feeling.
Bahrani is a really good director for this. I love how this movie says so much with so little. The cinematography is always on point to the scene and helps you understand where Ahmad is coming from throughout.
Good Concept Good Execution! WATCH IT!
