Beasts of the Southern Wild
This odd, peculiar and strange movie is bolstered by an absolutely stunning performance by six year old newcomer Quvenzhane Wallis as a little girl who’s fighting for her father and her forgotten community.
In other words, she is the inheritor of a proud literary and artistic tradition, following along a crooked path traveled by Huckleberry Finn, Scout Finch, Eloise (of the Plaza), Elliott (from “E.T.”) and other brave, wild, imaginary children. These young heroes allow us, vicariously, to assert our innocence and to accept our inevitable disillusionment when the world falls short of our ideals and expectations.
So hold on for a game-changer that gets you excited
about movies again. It's called Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's won
every prize from Sundance to Cannes. It introduces a gifted feature director in
Benh Zeitlin, 29, who should soon be introduced to Oscar voters. And it creates
a world to get lost in, a world of beauty, terror and mythic wonder. Zeitlin
says he wanted to merge "the poetics of an art film with something that feels
like Die Hard."
