White Lightnin' (2009)

The last mountain dancer is simply a crazy guy with "the devil in his blood" as he repeatedly tells us. This rejects any real responsibility in a way, even though he often tries (and fails) to stay on the good side.

Shot in a grimey over-exposed white, strange flat colours. The music built up slowly, taking minutes and minutes, finally dragging you along. 

I wasn't thrilled but it was definitely a film that can survive on its own.
