小镇谋杀之歌 (2010)

Film noir has taught audiences that bad things can happen in picture-perfect small towns just as easily as in the grimy big city, but rarely have filmgoers seen a film noir that’s also an ecclesiastical musical. Violent, propulsive, and gorgeous, Gass-Donnelly’s remarkable genre mash-up about a local police officer investigating a murder in a Mennonite community is filled with contemporary hymns and set amid a rural landscape of extraordinary beauty. 有点社会派推理的感觉，音乐不错，喜欢Lift Em Up/Jack Can I Ride冰山类电影，埋在下面的，给你看的更多。画面也是“惜墨如金”，怪不得拍不长，这种个人风格可贵有力，但欠些火候。音乐调子极佳，印象深刻。剧中村里人说的像是德语方言，是德裔移民么？有极强的个人风格，很想知道导演是怎么坚持的！
