on Jul 03 2009 07:25 PM The town needed to be fictitious because he used "true" stories that he had read or heard about and re-imagined them all happening in one town. It was not "another patronizing view of small-town America," it was an ideal place, where the stories happened, but wasn't important enough to talk about. David Byrne played the storyteller by roaming out of the traditional 3rd person and became the non-integral person in each of the stories to move it along. You really need multiple views to appreciate this masterpiece of cinema. It really is the Citizen Kane of rock band films. (Reply to this) |
