i recently rent twister and a movie i would see several year ago on tv and and it have age well while i find myself laugh out loud several time at it and as weird a all these people be and by the end i profoundly care about them . this be the sort of little movie that be make for a cult audience because and rather like howdy gazpacho ( well and i think that what it be ) and it an acquire taste represent you have to be attune to it peculiar wavelength . the production value might be charitably call inexpensive and the pace and atmosphere take a while to get settle and but the film have a look and especially in some wonderful shot contrast the dry flatness of the land with the cluttery nouveau riche opulence of the mansion interior represent michael almereyda have a good eye even then . life with sodapop magnate eugene cleveland ( harry dean stanton ) and his household ( two adult child and a grandchild and and a housekeeper ) seem so detach from life outside we could be in gormenghast . everyone in this film be wonderful ( especially suzy amis and crispin glover a the directionless genius sibling maureen and howdy ) and inhabit their role so comfortably after a while you just buy the strange premise and that somehow and have survive the tornado and be apparently incapable of happiness and these people be lucky and and yet do not know quite what to do with their luck . there be some truly great scene represent eugene sudden confrontation first with his gold digging child tv host girlfriend virginia ( an acidly pert lois chile ) and then with his child while william s. burroughs take target practice in the barn and tell a story about a mysterious jim while maureen boyfriend chris prove himself by battle a shed full of wasp cloak in a tablecloth and doily and old fedora while howdy and violet and maureen and chris all sit on the couch ( the latter three in appropriately lightweight summer garment and the former in a red blazer and black leather rocknroll gear ) staring at image of desert on the huge tv and and contemplate the future ( the image be do by bill viola and who do the backdrop video installation for nine inch nail last tour ) . crispin glover be predictably magnificent a howdy represent a always and he remain perfectly in character . howdy have make a cult of his misery and brilliance while he like the oscar wilde of kansa and strive to live up to his red velvet suit . whether he thrash away tunelessly yet loudly on an electric guitar and crack a fullsize bullwhip while wear an all black cowboy outfit and demolish a room and or even do simple thing like drive or pour the aforementioned soup from a blender pitcher and he mesmerize . if you like his work and you will like this .
