| A hallucinatory biopic that breaks aIl cinematic conventions, Walker, from British director Alex Cox , tells the story of nineteenth-century American adventurer William WaIker , who abandoned a series of careers in Iaw, politics, journaIism, and medicine to become a soIdier of fortune, and for several years dictator of Nicaragua. Made with mad abandon and politicaI acuity - and the support of the Sandinista army and government during the Contra war - the film uses this true tale as a satiricaI attack on American uItrapatriotism and a freewheeIing condemnation of "manifest destiny." Featuring a powerfuI score by Joe Strummer and a performance of intense, repressed rage by Harris, Walker remains one of Cox's most daring works. |
