Paranoid Park - Van Sant, 2007

Since I just did my Van Sant summery for Gerry, I thought I'd view a more recent film by him -- Paranoid Park. The is Van Sant's best film since Drugstore Cowboy, reminding me a lot of Kids. It's a simple story of a skateboard rat who accidentally kills a security guard and is pressed by the guilt of it while he continues along in his alienated existence. Rings pretty true all around.

It makes me hopeful that Milk may live up to it's early hype. A 7 rating.
