A History of Violence / USA / 2005
Maybe I’m being lazy, but I wonder what, if anything, this film actually has to say about violence, its nature, and its “history.” Even though I liked Million Dollar Baby less, I think that film has more provocative things to say on the subject — or at least on the subject of real (vs. movie) violence.
But then, the characters in Cronenberg’s film are what really interests me, far more than any grand allegorical schema. Indeed the film is much more interesting as a romance than as a treatise (or a “Western”).
And, boy, is it nice to see a 90-minute film for a change.
