HISTÓRIAS À DERIVA

 

 

Sem aviso, somos forçados a ver: “Little Earl is driving down the Gulf Coast, sitting on a pillow so he can see the road, next to him is a twelve pack of beer, three frozen pizzas and two lighters as souvenirs”. Logo a seguir, apercebemo-nos que “Little Earl's brother is bleeding in the backseat, it's been twenty miles and he can't stop crying”. Tal como começou, de súbito, termina: “Little Earl don't know what to do, he's looking for a hospital even though his brother don't want him to, he's starting to panic he's too scared to stop, he's never driven at night and he keeps getting lost”. Willy Vlautin dá poucas explicações mas adianta que procurou “uma tonalidade cinematográfica para a história de dois irmãos que se envolvem num assalto que corre mal a um mini-mercado nos arredores de Port Arthur, no Texas”. E sublinha: “Gosto muito de canções que nos projectam, inesperadamente, no meio de uma cena”. (daqui; segue para aqui)
