Richard Kelly’s follow-up to Donnie Darko is a sprawling, deeply flawed but possibly brilliant apocalyptic satire “set in a rancid, paranoid-crackdown America where porn, news, reality TV, and music videos have merged into an omnipresent media glob….[it works] in the visionary scorched-earth mode of William Burroughs, Don DeLillo, and Infinite Jest.” (Entertainment Weekly) "Only an American who loves his country as much as Mr. Kelly does could blow it to smithereens and then piece it together with help from the Rock, Buffy, Mr. Timberlake and a clutch of professional wisenheimers. He does want to give peace a chance, seriously" (NY Times). more at southlandtales.com 35mm Cinemascope
