Mysterious Skin April 8, 2006

The other day I asked myself, "Self, whatever happened to Joseph Gordon-Levitt?" (of Third Rock From The Sun fame). The surprising answer came in the form of perhaps the best film I have seen in months. For me, this film really defines some of the better aspects that constitute a worthwhile indie production: powerful (yet disturbing) subject matter, forgotten actors and a killer score. I am not going to make a blanket recommendation of this film becuase it is not for everyone. However, I am certain that the discerning viewer will come away from this one with a renewed appreciation for the art of cinema.
Sounds a lot like Donnie Darko, great dark story, really good acting, and a movie that you come away from saying “wow/I want to watch it again”
