Christina Ricci wows opposite Samuel L. Jackson and Justin Timberlake in the exhilarating "Black Snake Moan." Plus: The film stubborn Bush supporters need to see.
By Andrew O'Hehir [2007-01-26]

  • At what cost capitalism?

    I am surprised that no one has bothered to review, or interview Jessica Woodworth or Peter Brosnes about their profound movie, Khadak.

    This film inspires reflection and induces silence due to the power of its narrative. I have never been moved as profoundly as this movie has moved me. I am stunned and surprised by my reaction to this film.

    I have been fortunate to see many wonderful, compelling films, at Sundance this year, I have seen over 30 films, but in my opinion, Khadak stands out above all others in its ability to create a profoundly moving narrative communicated through its visual poetry, and metaphor. Khadak, simply put, illustrates the cost to the human condition in the pursuit of capitalism from our future as well as our past. Khadak is a social commentary conveyed through the highest form of the film-maker's visual art, it borderlines mystical in its ability to evoke emotion and reaction to this mostly visual narrative.

    Salon, I hope you review this film.
