THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE YOU CAN TAKE
What hath Tarantino wrought?
Love it or hate it, when Quentin Taranti
no’s Pu/p Fiction burst onto the film scene in
1994, it was a breath of fresh air to a stag
nant industry, creating legions of followers
and copycats. That fresh air is, however, be
ginning to become stale. Go, one of the re
cent films reminiscent of Tarantino’s style,
does have a redeeming value not found in
Pu/p Fiction — a telepathic cat.
Go is told from a Rashomon-esque three
separate points of view (similar to the end of
another Tarantino film, Jackie Brown): Ron-
na’s (Sarah Polley), Simon’s (Desmond
Askew) and Adam and Zack’s (Scott Wolf and
Mohr, respectively).
Ronna is a supermarket checkout girl down
on her luck and in need of a big score so she
can pay her rent. Along come Adam and Zach
looking for “20 of 20,” otherwise known as
Ecstasy and Ronna decides to become an en
trepreneur and enlists the aid of Todd (Timo
thy Olyphant), the drug dealer. Of course the
plan predictably backfires, plunging everyone
into an underworld of scum.
The young cast is talented and picturesque,
fully exuding the sleeze required by John Au
gust’s script. Especially impressive is Polley,
who seems to emit years of cynicism behind her
eyes. This fits Go, the most cynical Generation X
film to come out this year (even more than the
playfully nasty Cruel Intentions).
Holmes is a headliner partly because of her
Dawson’s Creek fame, but she does little
more than tread water in a role that required
little. Askew makes a memorable American
debut, but his partner in crime, Marcus (Taye
Diggs), is reduced to spouting advantages of
tantric sex.
Liman, serving as his own cameraman, cre
ates a hyperkinetic feel to the action, but the
film is so formulaic and dependent on Pi
tion it’s like watching Jules and Vincent:
Wonder Years.
