New York. Bottom. Girl. I can't smell my feet, and the earth shakes. . .
The third month I scolded, because written off clean.
From a whaleship.
But since I am a scolding, non-partisan, non-Jewish,
I'm on the stairs at night, where the heat from the batteries.
The Public Library (2018) can serve as a worthy prologue to The Wild One. It was there and then, more extensively and majesticly covered the topic of homeless marginals looking for heat during cold weather, hot water for washing, a chair or a chair at the table in the chambers, a book or a computer window monitor in silence. There was no escape in a lodging house, a vagrant shelter, or any crisis center, but in a sanctuary of knowledge, a book gallery. No one twitches, no one bothers under the ear. I came, barely in the morning the doors opened, and before closing you are talking with Nietzsche, even with Cicero. And the faces of the actors were all star cast - Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater, Emilio Estevez. The color of the nation.
"Wild" (2018) from the breed "Public Library". She's just like them. One to one. No difference. She has no place in rooms or apartments. Place in the hotel is not provided, not booked. Since the age of sixteen, she has been through alleyways and tunnels. Colonnades of auxiliary premises of the subway her outlet. It's New York, but only out of the court. Not from the front entrance. It's better than one. It is better not to draw attention to yourself. Rats with night neighbors in the resting tomb. Squeaking, rustling. Garbage and dirt by allies. Every day. Month after month. Year after year.
The director does not shock the audience with the delights of the excesses of the existence of the unhappy. There is no particular shadow of despair or sadness. Life and lifestyle became established, habit became second nature. Petty thefts, innocent fraud allow not only to stay afloat, but even to steadily postpone the "day" in reserve, for a "black" day. She is not without attractiveness, sociable and sometimes easily converges with people. Criminal talent? Almost. But without zeal in development. Hobby.
Another "draw" in the spirit of "Tortoise" (1987) with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep in front of us. Lovers from the New Bridge (1991) - Juliette Binoche and Denis Laban talk to the audience. Even 'Special' (2019) - Vincent Cassel and Reda Kateb touch here. The bottom of the American Dream in bankruptcy is presented by the author.
Hardly black and white cinema without a spark of rainbow colors in the grayness of monotony here. The aesthetic of minimalism. The aesthetic of mutedness. Not much fun. Not to savor. However, this is not called black either. A drama about the difficult fate of an immigrant in sincerity.
. . But since I am a scolding, non-partisan, non-Jewish,
