deep America
knew that the cosmopolitan image of the United States, and the skyscrapers of waste, was not entirely representative. Many movies and documentaries, as
wrestler or Capitalism: A love story , we have shown how cost-American country's coast stretches an entire underworld able to get the colors to the first Western power.
An uncomfortable reality that only finds its reflection in the independent film and now Winter's bone maximum returns for its squalor .
Debra Granik debutante almost portrays us the American heartland with the same harshness in which its people live poorly.
At just 17 years old Ree Dolly, the protagonist of the film, has been forced to grow up in a rush . A senile mother and a father's fugitive forced to take the reins of the family to prevent his two younger brothers starve and end up losing their meager belongings. A bleak picture that the director does not try to hide.
However, despite the hardness of the images, they come to us in a format too cold. The camera shows us Ree skinning a squirrel to eat or enlisting in the army to raise some money but the point of view marks a move away from the viewer. Granik
do not expect to recreate in poverty but also that certain events leave us unperturbed . Maybe you already walk all a little fright cured
Street style increasingly harder and provoke unrest.
In any case, what really worries in Winter's bone
are the elements of thriller
. The shadow of the father of Ree, threatening and disturbing, hovers around the film, leaving a trail of brutality and violence which is what gives us the most remarkable scenes of the film.
Not appear even one second on stage, this ghostly presence is the mystery that keeps the interest of the plot . The rest is paid by a set of actors capable of generating the necessary panic in the viewer.
John Hawkes has been recognized with several nominations and some other well-deserved award for his disturbing role, but his co-star Dale Dickey is not far behind, although it has had less luck in the race for the Oscar. His brief interventions are the most terrifying film.
But the real essence of Winter's bone , which best represents the coldness that said, it Jennifer Lawrence. Within a few days and only 21, will walk the red carpet of Hollywood, adorned with their finery, to embody the plight of a forgotten people of Missouri. The head and tail of a developed country.
