The Stranger

DVD Movie

THE STRANGER: Orson Welles directed and starred in THE STRANGER, a tense black-and-white thriller that Welles made for maverick producer Sam Spiegel. Welles portrays Charles Rankin, a respected academic at a prominent Connecticut college. He seems to have the perfect life: a beautiful new wife, Mary (Loretta Young); and a charming home in a small town that holds him in high esteem. Enter Mr. Wilson (Edward G. Robinson), a detective on the hunt for Nazi war criminal Franz Kindler. The appearance of Mr. Wilson threatens to reveal that underneath this idyllic veneer is a secret that could tear everything apart.<br><br>Although many of Welles's most interesting scenes wound up on the cutting-room floor when Spiegel reedited the film, THE STRANGER is still multilayered, complex, and fascinating. The scenes between Welles and Robinson are intellectually gripping, leading up to the stylized, shocking conclusion. As with so many of Welles's films, he was unhappy with the final result, but the viewer won't be. It would be most interesting to see the film as Welles intended it to be, but in the meantime, this version of THE STRANGER is a marvel.

Wild Tigers I Have Known

DVD Movie

Middle school is rarely an easy time, but it’s particularly difficult for Logan (Malcolm Stumpf) in this coming-of-age film set in the 1980s. He has the requisite unrequited crush--but the object of his affection is a boy named Rodeo (Patrick White). Logan spends time with Rodeo and fellow outcast Joey (Max Paradise), but he’s far from fitting in. His home isn’t even a haven since his single mother (Fairuza Balk, PERSONAL VELOCITY) isn’t sure what to do with her son. Logan continues to grapple with his feelings of attraction for his friend as he determines who he is.<br><br>Though it shares a setting and theme with some of John Hughes's "Brat Pack" films, WILD TIGERS I HAVE KNOWN couldn’t be farther from those 1980s classics. Though there are moments of humor, this is a dark and unconventional film that exposes the isolation of growing up as an outcast. In his first starring role, Stumpf carries the film well. He ably expresses Logan’s desire--both for Rodeo and for acceptance. First-time-feature director Cam Archer also wrote, edited, and produced the film, and it’s a unique offering. Though there is a plot running through it, flashes of Logan’s daydreams give WILD TIGERS I HAVE KNOWN a close resemblance to an art film. This independent drama isn’t for those devoted to blockbusters, but it gives a convincing look at how teens cross over from innocence to maturity. (1 hr. 33 min.)
