WHITE LIGHTNIN' (2009)


The closest experience I can relate this movie to in the real world is maybe a drug-fueled night of binge drinking complete with sex and violence.  While this is sorta based on the life of Jesco White, "The Dancin' Outlaw", who has a couple of  documentaries out there about himself, it really just uses his story as a template to push the film into completely insane areas.  Carrie Fisher shows up as Jesco's girl looking super awful.  You get gas-huffin', crank-shootin', revenge-killin' and plenty of hicksploitation moments.  Also some weird nonsensical pseudo-religious pondering thrown in for added confusion.  Also a scene with some retarded nutjob shitting on the floor and playing with it to make you feel extra specially filthy while watching.  The gratuitous use of Hasil Adkins on the soundtrack for added insanity was nice.  On the down side I'm not sure why the movie was almost in all in black and white except for a few bits of color here and there.  It does make everything seem more depressingly bleak so I guess that works.  Also I'm not a fan of the quick-cuts style of showing an action scene which is the downfall of most modern movies.  Overall though for a newer film this was a unique ride through hillbilly hell worth giving a look to as long as you don't expect many factual events to be portrayed.
