[le film de la semaine] Nomlandland, by Chloe Zhao – Cinema

Empire. Here is a small working class town on the edge of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada Nomlandland, Chloe Zhao’s third film. The horizon evokes a ghost town, as if it had passed during a gold rush, and for good reason: the city went bankrupt with the gypsum company, which provided most of the functionality. Fern had no choice but to leave (Frances McDormand, suffocate) to climb into his motor home, and join the procession of modern nomads, most of whom are retirees, moving west of the US, from odd jobs to uncertain jobs. As a result, it’s a little known reality, where the objective is dangerous – especially as the subprime crisis passed with its catastrophic consequences – responding to the solidarity among the “hobos” members of this community in the 21st century. Century. The unity that is the lifeblood of this extraordinary and glowing road movie, by choice or obligation, is for those who decide to live on the road – Linda May, Swanki or other Bob Wells, screen in their own role.

Persecuted landscapes

Released in 2015 Songs were taught to me by my brothers, A film recorded at the Pine Ridge Indian Reserve in South Dakota, before continuing two years later The Rider, Located in the middle of the rodeo, Chloe Zhao has created “outsiders” at the heart of her cinema. This is no different today Nomlandland, Adapted from Jessica Broder’s titled novel (read our portrait), maintains this generous trend, without significantly expanding its spectrum. Joshua James Richards’ photography expands on the immensity of American space that manages to exaggerate the astonishing beauty, and the film focuses on those who remain in the wreckage of the American dream, in which it embraces the situation. When vibrating with a sharp vision, a powerful call for freedom. If walking in painful terrain, Nomlandland One of those works that we will never forget is the formally certified impact by the Oscar (Best Picture, Director and Actress) collection at other awards. If this film is, after all, an exceptional human adventure, the portrait of an American sick man with its imbalances, with a reflection of the meaning of existence, is still drawn there. Bright, but less inspiring.
