U Turn (TWILIGHT TIME) W/BOOKLET USED

Director Oliver Stone's U Turn (1997), with a script by John Ridley based on his novel, is a sensationally trippy Southwestern neo-noir-and yet another in Stone's series of cinematic meditations on the American character. Not a pretty, but always a fascinating picture, with standout performances from the phenomenal likes of Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thornton, Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Jennifer Lopez, Bo Hopkins, Joaquin Phoenix, and Claire Danes. Shot, in a dazzling variety of styles, by Robert Richardson (Django Unchained) and highlighted by a score from maestro of maestros Ennio Morricone.
