~Gone Baby Gone

Gone Baby Gone

Film Review
October 18, 2007 by JAN ALBERT

GONE BABY GONE is a darkly entertaining ride into the bowels of the human psyche that will confound you to declare who the good guys and bad guys are at the finish line.

Been a while since a film made me feel like picking up a book, but GONE BABY GONE is a great adaptation of the terse crime thrillers I used to devour like candy. It is a hardboiled but poetic page-turner of a movie.

Ben Affleck’s directorial debut (he also co-wrote the script with Aaron Stockard based on Dennis Lehane’s novel) is set in his old stomping grounds – South Boston – and is an ode to “the people who started out in the cracks and then fell through.” The neighborhood and its residents run deep in his blood and Affleck revels in the faces and places where a little girl has gone missing and the press and the police are trying to outdo each other in a frenzy of self-righteous fury. Every location is crammed with detail and extras cast right off the streets and bar stools of Dorchester, which keeps your eyes wide open.

To make it even more personal, Affleck bet his whole hand and cast his little brother, Casey Affleck, in the lead as Patrick Kenzie, a private detective brought onto the case with his partner/lover Angie Gennaro by the child’s aunt. Slight of stature, but not of ability, Casey Affleck has quietly (the opposite of Ben’s acting career!) been making his name as a character actor in flicks like Oceans Eleven, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and Gus Van Sant’s Gerry. As the star of GONE BABY GONE, Casey Affleck makes you root for this baby-faced but smart, tough, sensitive, and stubborn PI, refusing to give up even when it becomes obvious that the truth is rotten to the core and threatens to tear his own life apart.

Affleck steps up to the front of the screen here against some real star power like Ed Harris (scarily great as a very tightly wound cop) and Morgan Freeman and doesn’t let them steal the scene.
He also holds his own with a score of brilliant character actors he comes across in the course of the investigation—most notably Amy Madigan, Titus Welliver, and Edi Gathegi.

Amy Ryan (who had a recurring role on the TV series, THE WIRE and is also featured as Ethan Hawke’s former wife in Sidney Lumet’s BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD this season) does steal her share of scenes! She gives a star-making performance as the little girl’s druggie, careless mom. Ryan is a force of nature as a woman the audience may disapprove of but cannot just hate despite it all. She makes her a person of spunk and humor, as well as fear and guilt. So far for me, Amy Ryan and Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild) are the ones to beat for best supporting actress and actor of 2007.

Ben Affleck doesn’t yet have the fluid chops to slay the audience with the action sequences, but when he sticks to advancing the story through Kenzie and Gennaro’s (Michelle Monaghan) facing off against the many colorful characters, he’s on solid ground. I’ve seen a lot of fine films lately; Michael Clayton, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, The Darjeeling Express and I must say GONE BABY GONE is the one I cannot shake. Go see it so Hollywood brings more of Patrick and Angela’s series of adventures to the screen and Ben Affleck gets to direct another movie real soon.

P.S. Now that I am deep into Dennis Lehane’s novel, I can see what a great job Ben Affleck did of capturing its essence. Here’s one great passage that had me nodding my head in admiration:

“ When a child disappears, the space she’d occupied is immediately filled with dozens of people. And these people – relatives, friends, police officers, reporters from both TV and print – create a lot of energy and noise, a sense of communal intensity, of fierce, shared dedication to a task.
But amid all that noise, nothing is louder than the silence of the missing child. It’s a silence that’s two and a half to three feet tall, and you feel it at your hip and hear it rising from the floorboards, shouting to you from the corners and crevices and the emotionless face of a doll left on the floor by the bed. It’s a silence that’s different from the ones at funerals and wakes. The silence of the dead carries with it a sense of finality; it’s a silence you know you must get used to. But the silence of a missing child is not something you want to get used to; you refuse to accept it, and so it screams at you.
The silence of the dead says goodbye. The silence of a missing child says, Find me.”
From GONE BABY GONE by Dennis Lehane. Copyright 1998, Harpers paperback, pg. 24.

BIG MOUTH KNOW-IT-ALL (S.C.) – who was there of course – (if your hot – we got you covered, one way or the other, at artlovers) . . . everybody was sucking up to the RIVINGTON ARMS/BRICE MARDEN SILVER SPOON SPAWN – “she doesn’t need artlovers – she’s in VOGUE” – S.B. – (if it ain’t JEANNE GREENBERG) – IT’S MIRABELLE MARDEN – CRAWLING UP THE ART WORLD CAN BE SUCH AN UGLY SPECTATOR SPORT !!

EARLY BUZZ – is that this is the FINAL YEAR for PASSERBY – AND GAVIN BROWN WANTS IT TO FLAME OUT – ONE LAST TIME !!

BUZZ ALSO HAS … GAVIN opening a new space in LA with 2 partners – who specialize in the secondary market & who have very deep pockets !! SIMON CERIGO reports that it’s rumored – that’s rumored!! that DOMINIQUE LEVY & ROBERT MNUCHIN of L & M GALLERY – will be his new LA gallery space backers. L & M is a very.. “well-funded” gallery on the upper East Side.

and for those of you who are interested … HOPE ATHERTON is said to be Gavin’s latest squeeze.

… actually come to think of it – I actually even heard, once, that GBE had a quote unquote ..
“casting couch” – I swear to God, but it’s just a 3rd party rumor! haven’t been able to fact check it, yet !! but, GAVIN can really turn on the megawatt charm when he wants to – !!

…so where was artlovers, to pass on this mutual mass love fest – JOSH HARRIS was in town, for a few days – and threw a wonderful dinner party – hosted by APERTURE PHOTOGRAPHER DONNA FERRATO – who served up some of the best & absolutely the most elegant home cooking – with free-flowing refreshments – that we’ve seen in a long time – and we party a lot – it was great fun, great food & a PAYING GIG !! – TO BOOT !!!

P.S. TALKING ABOUT GBE – we hear ROB PRUITT DRESSED UP AS ONE OF HIS SIGNATURE PANDA BEARS – AT THE RECENT LONDON FRIEZE ART FAIR !!!

~JOSH HARRIS DINNER/DONNA FERRATO PHOTOS/QUIET

. . . JOSH HARRIS flew into New York from L.A. for 3 days and managed to throw a re-union party (of sorts…) hosted by APERTURE PHOTOGRAPHER, DONNA FERRATO. The food was home cooked and wonderful, her TRIBECA loft was gracious, but most entertaining of all, DONNA had some of her archival photos from QUIET and … WE LIVE IN PUBLIC on display, as well as some archival newspaper clippings, etc.
QUIET was JOSH’S (dot com funded) MILLENNIUM CELEBRATION PARTY, involving 90+ artists who lived in a group of buildings on Lower Broadway, for 2 weeks (JAN 2000) – and – WE LIVE In PUBLIC – was his follow-up – the (2001) 24/7 SURVEILLANCE TAKE .. (on what was to be his crash) on his loft & its ‘happenings’, on PRINCE & BROADWAY.
Coincidently JOSH HARRIS, ‘gun runner’, and BASQUIAT FAKER, ALFREDO MARTINEZ was also in town for a few days, before he flew back to China. He brought over the newest generation to hook-up with JOSH, the boys from THE CANAL CHAPTER. The only consensus in the place – was the commonly held wonderment of what it would be like to be an unwitting passenger on the long plane rides – that ferry Alfredo back & forth to China !!!

P.S. DONNA FERRATO is more typically known for her “landmark” photo documentation of domestic violence and spousal abuse issues – so its great, to blow her cover & see “the wild” side of her photographic talents.

this image was featured on the artlovers home page/week of: SEPT 11, 2007

talking bout TAYLOR McKIMENS . . .

TAYLOR McKIMENS did the LETTERING for the NEW YORK CITY POSTER of the PERES PROJECTS/BERLIN GENERATED – KATHY GRAYSON CURATED – ‘MAIL ORDER MONSTERS’ – which opened the FALL SEASON at DEITCH PROJECTS on GRAND STREET -running – SEPT 6 – SEPT 29, 2007.
TOMOO GOKITA provided the IMAGE, from a drawing of his called …..’Orthopedic Surgery’.

There was some controversy attached to the DEITCH PJOJECTS staging of the exhibit – it was not exactly the same presentation that PERES PROJECTS served up earlier in Berlin. WES LANG’S work was deleted – that is omitted – that is, censored. for supposedly … generating too many quote unquote negative comments.(?!) DEITCh PROJECTS being the very same galelry that serves up TERRY RICHARDSON graphic images of dicks & asshole lickings. (excuse the expression – but its true).

to get an idea of the so-called (racist (?) – not sexist !!) nature of the WES LANG work – check out the previous artlovers link to KATHY GRAYSON’S BLOG/record of the PERES PROJECTS /BERLIN July 1, 2007 opening . . . ….

here’s a link to the actual PERES PROJECTS/BERLIN exhibit (with more pix !!)

. . you can see for yourself – how great TAYLOR’S new lettering for the NYC show is – compared to the orginal Berlin poster, shown here. sometimes the best inspiration isn’t immediate.
and here’s an early HALLOWEEN TREAT . . . archival artlovers photos of:
