Paranoid Park 7

A remarkably consistent short story of a high school senior-age boy who, apparently, feels nothing and shows less. As a study in affectlessness it is superb. If you’re looking for a resolution, or most of the things one has come to expect in a movie in the way of plot, it leaves you hanging. Director Gus Van Sant seems to have gotten into the teenage mind. It’s an interesting place to sightsee, but I wouldn’t want to spend much time there.
