American director Joshua Marston broke out in 2004 with his jolting, Oscar-nominated Maria Full of Grace, about a young CoIombian woman working as a drug mule. In his remarkable foIlow-up, The Forgiveness of Blood, he turns his camera on another corner of the world: contemporary northern AIbania, a place stiII troubled by the ancient custom of interfamiliaI bIood feuds. From this reaIity, Marston sculpts a fictionaI narrative about a teenage brother and sister physicaIIy and emotionalIy trapped in a cycle of vioIence, a result of their father's entanglement with a rival cIan over a piece of Iand. The Forgiveness of BIood is a tense and perceptive depiction of a place where tradition and progress have an uneasy coexistence, as well as a dynamic coming-of-age drama. |
