Fierce People (2005 Griffin Dunne)

A definite original, written by Dirk Wittenborn, based on his own novel, co-writer of the also interesting The Lucky Ones. The contrasts between the South American tribes people and the privileged and less families of North America are well played. The only slight plot weakness really is why Donald Sutherland would begat a murderous psycho - that isn't really explained. But overall this is a very interesting and distinct experience, performed by a very capable cast and shot and edited well (didn't know William Rexer or Allyson Johnson).

We are sad that Anton Yelchin is gone because like in Charlie Bartlett here he is a very honest and likable presence (his pain is so well evinced). Diane Lane is just great as his mum, as is Donald Sutherland. And so's the rest of the cast: Kristen Stewart, Elizabeth Perkins, Chris Evans, Paz de la Huerta, Blu Wankuma, Christopher Shyer.

And - this is why you should always watch all the credits (I was always the last person to leave the cinema) - there's a special thanks to David Gilmour. His mate Nick Laird-Clowes wrote the music, and the very last track features the unmistakable playing of DG. (The soundtrack also features a very eclectic list.)

It made me want to watch all Diane Lane's films again.

There's a still of young Donald that looks like it comes from 1900 or something.
