Edmond (2005)

(New York; contemporary)

So I just finished this and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. Now I’ve seen Mament before, and I know he’s capable of some grit, and of saying some dark things about human nature, but never have I seen it like this. It’s the tale of the breakdown of a white American male, a single night where he lets lose the worst inside of him and never recovers. This movie merits some cogent analysis that I am not able to provide at this time. So google it and read a good long piece on the thing, see if The Nation’s review from a couple years ago is still available. William H. Macy is incredible.
