Review of Paranoid Park (2007) by Balaji R — 19 Nov 2008
Gus Van Sant proves why he is one of the most brilliant directors of our time. Paranoid Park is not as provocative as Elephant. But it is still a wonderful piece of film-making. The effortlessness of the whole movie almost works against it.
A non-discerning viewer may just overlook the incredible editing, the amazing camera work, the use of light and textures. Also the performance by the young lead actor Gabe Nevins is indeed a revelation.
