Klawans, Stuart | November 8, 1999 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various motion pictures. "Fight Club," and "Boys Don't Cry," are films that ponder the crazy, violent souls of American men. One movie locates itself along a neural path, the other, on the rock 'n' roll highway. Written by Jim Uhls, based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, "Fight Club," is a delirium that roils through the brain of a reedy-voiced narrator portrayed by actor Edward Norton. "Boys Don't Cry," is a strikingly nocturnal movie. The film keeps posing its characters against the field of the night sky, which is photographed to seem depthless and utterly black.
