BOBCAT’S BIGFOOT
BY RICK LEVIN
Excitable stand-up comedian-
turned-filmmaker Bobcat Goldthwait
will make a special appearance in
town Friday, June 27, for a 7:30 pm
screening of his new film Willow
Creek at Bijou Art Cinemas. A pusher
of envelopes whose snaggle-toothed
voice is an enduring trademark,
Goldthwait is an artist of dark sensi-
bilities and surprising smarts, as
bears out both in his past comic
routines as well as movies like
Shakes the Clown and World’s Great-
est Dad, in which Robin Williams, a
good friend of Goldthwait, plays a
father who capitalizes on his son’s
suicide.
Goldthwait’s latest film, Willow
Creek, is a found-footage horror
movie in which a couple document-
WHEN THE
LEVEE BREAKS
Crime and punishment for
Oregon eco-saboteurs in Kelly
Reichardt’s Night Moves
I
n Kelly Reichardt’s new film, Night Moves, a ragged trio of
would-be eco-saboteurs plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam in
western Oregon. There is Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), a steely young
man full of sidelong glances and inarticulate rage; Dena (Dakota
Fanning), a doe-eyed rich girl levitating on hippie zen; and
Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), the elder, who emanates the cool,
malevolent calm of nihilism.
With the quiet, crackling earnestness of kids playing house, the
threesome set their plan in motion, buying a boat and 1,500 pounds of
fertilizer, with cash, of course. Their grim excitement is pinched by
nervy paranoia and an impending sense of doom, as fissures appear in
the bulwark of their scheme: surveillance cameras abound; a car stops
on the outlet road above the dam just as they set the explosive timer.
And, when the boom comes, there is a nightmare of collateral damage,
at once inevitable and shocking.
Reichardt is a filmmaker of surpassing patience, far more interested
in the emotional consequences of our decisions than the actual how
and why of human actions. Her films (Wendy and Lucy, Meek’s Cutoff)
focus on the mute interstices of fate where lonely, searching people
run smack against the edge of an abyss.
In Night Moves, Reichardt is unconcerned with the heavy hand of
political cant or whether an act of terror will forestall the apocalypse.
Like Dostoyevsky, she is more interested in the minutiae of crime and
punishment — how idealistic impulses blind us to the shrapnel sent
out by our deepest, darkest desires, and the toll we pay for forging
meaning in the midst of chaos.
Night Moves is full of excruciating suspense and intricate espionage,
but the movie ends, as T.S. Eliot warned of the world’s demise, not
with a bang but a whimper — a haunting whimper that asks: What
have I done? ■

ing their trip to the site of the famous
1967 Patterson-Gimlin footage dis-
covers the truth about Bigfoot.
Though it partakes of the now-famil-
iar Blair Witch prototype, the movie
is well researched (lots of Sasquatch
lore) and effectively creepy, taking
its own sweet time as it builds to a
horrifying crescendo inside a tent at
night in the middle of nowhere.
