野草蔓生

推荐理由：和同是90年代美国独立电影的那些靠戏剧冲突或荒诞台词博眼球的片子不同，《野草蔓生》更像一场缓慢的观察实验。如果你受够了“一切情节都为服务高潮”的套路叙事，或者想看看《第一头牛》导演最初是如何用预算极低的日常素材搭建出细腻的心理地图，这部片子值得你静静坐下来。这部电影不适合追求快节奏或强反转的观众，但如果你喜欢《某种女人》或《米克的近路》那种沉静、观察式的叙事，或者想看看一个导演如何在处女作里就找到自己的语调，那么《野草蔓生》会给你一段带着潮湿草腥味的独特体验。适合那些喜欢慢节奏、不介意情节被日常琐事稀释、对人物琐碎状态更感兴趣的观众。要是你最近有耐心，愿意陪着两个迷路人虚度九十分钟，这片子准没错。适合那些看腻了“故事必须有起承转合”的观众，或者想体验一种被闷热空气包裹着的、近乎纪录片的写实感的影迷。

　　River of Grass has all the elements of a conventional road movie: a car, a gun, criminal plans, and young lovers on the run from an angry father who also happens to be a suspended police officer. But writer and director Kelly Reichardt has instead taken these familiar elements and fashioned an anti-road movie, a deadpan film that is more existentialist comedy than crime drama. The young lovers in question are Cozy, the cop's daughter, and Lee Ray, a shady character from the wrong end of town. Lee Ray comes into possession of a pistol, and soon he and Cozy find themselves unintentionally involved in a shooting. Fearing capture by the law, the two make plans to leave town, committing a series of robberies on the way. However, they don't manage to get very far; indeed, the film's central premise is how the romantic myth of lovers on the lam proves disappointing in the face of a far more pedestrian reality. This well-received, low-budget indie was shot on location in South Florida, placing its story against an appropriately depressed landscape of sun-bleached strip malls, barren highways and overgrown, swampy fields; the title is another name for the Florida Everglades.
