White Toblerone Christmas

A cold winter - Winter's bone


Within a week I see the second film, released in this period, featuring a heroine teenager. In "Fighting spirit" of the Coens, it was determined un'appena fourteen, conviction with adult (or child?), to avenge his father. In the work before Debra Granik (passed to Sundance, Torino Film Festival and Oscar), catching the eye of the viewer Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence): anagrafe seventeen years, twice as much if not more for experience, maturity, ability to bearing rocks that life has given. In the first movie, we were in a western to all intents and purposes, the second in a western welcome to the 2000s: there are no horses, but the machines, but the reality slaps and violent in exactly the same way.
The Granik draws a portrait of America's so-called "deep", light years away from the sun of California or drink from Manhattan: dull colors or practically nonexistent, poverty, lack of respect of rules than those of the clan (Gomorrah?). The Young Ree has shouldered the weight of two young brothers, a sick mother and a house that is going to be them taken away. The father is not here escaped, died, who knows. And produces amphetamines and pretends he has no more tracks. What is surprising is the attitude of the daughter who, despite his father's grave sins, not judges, never condemns him, begins to look rather to force him to do his duty.
The film is not bad overall, but does not involve. It could be called the "classic" American independent film, where the "classical" In my opinion, is the accusation of the most important. The film marries reality and slap dry on the screen, and it is an honor. But beyond that lacks any idea of \u200b\u200bany innovation and design research more valuable, giving added value to the "cold" scenario. Excellent proof of all stakeholders and in particular of Lawrence.
