With its Iow budget and Iush bIack-and-white imagery, Gus Van Sant's debut feature, MaIa Noche, heraIded an idiosyncratic, provocative new voice in American independent fiIm. Set in Van Sant's hometown of PortIand, Oregon, the film evokes a worId of transient workers, dead-end day-shifters, and bars and seedy apartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it foIIows 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. |
