PANORAMA: THIRST STREET BY NATHAN SILVER

By José Sarmiento-Hinojosa

If maybe more contrived and less risky than his previous affairs, Thirst Street is Silver appropriate salute to amour-fou. Burdge is never out of control, or portrayed like a neurotic women; her attitude of naivete and obliviousness is exemplary awkward but also shows an unrestricted frailty. Silver never uses one-dimensional characters and here is no exception: even Bonnard, at his most deceptive, is just an aimless man, discouraged and adrift. The construction of this narrative, along the use of a particular atmospheric use of photography and camera, elevates this tragic comedy to a realm of the almost oneiric, something like a fever dream, or a wild fantasy.

Por Mónica Delgado

Nathan Silver se perfila desde un tiempo a esta parte como un cineasta interesado en algunas convenciones de lo femenino, sobre todo desde los modos de la histeria, la neurosis, el amor fou o el simple enamoramiento como situación de goce, sublimación y posesión que desconcierta, todo bajo un sentido del humor agridulce.
