In his narrative feature debut\, director Rick Charnoski’s history as a skate video director informs the frenetic storytelling style\, as he combines Red’s nihilist musings with a collage of documentary and B-movie meta-narratives that paint a seedy picture of life on the outskirts of town. \n\n\n\nTalk-radio bits and punk music underscore the auditory cacophony of doom\, while frequent Kelly Reichardt collaborator Christopher Blauvelt (First Cow\, The Bling Ring) lends his immersive\, naturalist lens shooting on gritty 16mm film. While Red searches the streets\, a constant foreboding presence looms around the chemically toxic river polluting the town. Via a cable-access news reporter interviewing the local residents about its impact\, Charnoski infuses today’s growing apathy around the insurmountable nature of our man-made ecological disasters into this raw\, politically subversive tale. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Rick Charnoski\n Year: 2022\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 86 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/warm-blood/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/WARM_BLOOD_POST_27X40_web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240627T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240627T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T180659 CREATED:20240515T150402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240515T154430Z UID:10001412-1719514800-1719522000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Blessings Movie Night: Lost in Translation DESCRIPTION:Portland visual artist Eatcho curates this month’s Blessings Movie Night with an original live rescore to LOST IN TRANSLATION (2003) by local musician Frank Legarza. \n\n\n\nA faded movie star and a neglected young woman form an unlikely bond after crossing paths in Tokyo.

A world where he is Jim Hawkins from Robert Louis Stevenson’s TREASURE ISLAND! One of Chilean Surrealist Raul Ruiz’s dearest ambitions was to adapt the childrens’ classic for film\, and so he did\, with money from a big name American distributor and instructions not to deviate from the text. He deviated from all of it. Starring Anna Karina\, Jean-Pierre Leaud\, Martin Landau\, and pop singer Sheila\, Ruiz’s TREASURE ISLAND is a masterfully labyrinthine surrealist metatext\, and a full dynamite-charged brain-blown deconstruction of children’s literature and adventure cinema\, in a free-flowing logic of media and dreams.
