With its low budget and lush bIack-and-white imagery, Gus Van Sant's debut feature, Mala Noche, heralded an idiosyncratic, provocative new voice in American independent film. Set in Van Sant's hometown of Portland, Oregon, the film evokes a world of transient workers, dead-end day-shifters, and bars and seedy apartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it foIlows a romantic deadbeat with a wayward crush on a handsome Mexican immigrant. Mala Noche was an important preIude to the New Queer Cinema of the nineties and is a fascinating time capsule from an era that continues to haunt the director's work. |
