Shotgun Stories - English Movie Review
http://www.cinefundas.com/ 2008/ 05/ 14/ shotgun-stori...
“Shotgun Stories,” which traces three very different brothers whose bond is tested by a vengeful eruption with another family, is an understated gem. Writer-director Jeff Nichols, making his feature debut, has created a richly textured world. The air is palpably heavy; the film flows at a calm, rural Arkansas pace. In one scene, the camera captures a quietly ominous conversation as a cloud passes under the sun. The fine detail of the setting could be achieved only by a native, which Nichols is. But simmering beneath is a lifelong feud between two sets of half brothers, ignited by their father’s death.
