CHILD OF GOD\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wellgo Releasing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 James Franco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenplay:\u00a0 James Franco, Vince Jolivette, based on the novel Child of God by Cormac McCarthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0 Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Parrack, Nina Ljeti, Brian Lally, James Franco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dolby88, NYC, 7\/23\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 August 1, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Living close to nature is not what it\u2019s cracked up to be.\u00a0 Yeah, it\u2019s fine for a week, if you\u2019re into camping, but when you have to live like a feral animal in the hills of East Tennessee, virtually homeless with nary a shack within a mile, you could get mighty lonely\u2014and dirty.\u00a0 But that\u2019s not the least of it.\u00a0 Dirty he is, but Lester Ballard (played in a tour-de-force, theatrical performance by Scott Haze), tolerated his own presumably smelly body and then some.\u00a0 As Tennessee\u2019s most notorious necrophiliac, he had sexual relations with at least two dead bodies, one, a woman who was already gone in a seeming suicide pact with a man, and another that he shot and dragged back like a cave man to wooden abode.\u00a0\u00a0 Eating the dead?\u00a0 Talk about a Paleolithic diet!<\/p>\n

The ubiquitous James France sits in the director\u2019s chair knocking out a faithful version of Cormac McCarthy\u2019s 1973 novel, considered by some perhaps the most fair-minded tale of necrophilia, one that could conceivably have readers and, in turn, members of the movie audience siding with the guy by recognizing the humanity underlying the perversion.\u00a0\u00a0 When he picks up a dead woman from the bowels of a car, discarding the man with whom she committed suicide, he experiences a satisfying (to him) sexual union which McCarthy describes graphically in the book: \u201cScuttling down the mountain with the thing on his back he looked like a man beset by some ghast succubus, the dead girl riding him with legs bowed akimbo like a monstrous frog.\u201d\u00a0 The moviegoer misses the cadences of the novel but enjoys a performance from Scott Haze that should have the awards people at year end penciling in his name.\u00a0 Haze purportedly lost 45 pounds living in a cave in preparation for the role, eating nothing but fish and apples.<\/p>\n

Apparently retarded with what looks like a double set of teeth, causing him to spit out words that are barely comprehensible, Ballard avoids looking at people straight in the eye.\u00a0 Instead he bends his head, gazes up with his eyes as though following an ophthalmologist\u2019s direction to \u201clook up,\u201d his brief sentences to the sheriff (Tim Blake Nelson) simply defending himself with words like \u201cI don\u2019t know nothing about a body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director Franco follows the novelist\u2019s division of the story into three parts, adding some voice-overs to give us in the audience a feel for McCarthy\u2019s chilling prose.\u00a0 He focuses on Ballard, living in Sevier County, Tennessee during the 1960\u2019s, a man who carries a rifle as though it were his third arm.\u00a0 He is not just retarded but disturbed, becoming increasingly so as society casts him off.\u00a0 We\u2019re not about to believe that \u201call he needs is love.\u201d\u00a0 He is too far gone to warm up to anyone, preferring to shout, to rave, to respond to voices like a schizophrenic.\u00a0 Among his revolting actions are masturbating outside a car while watching a couple making love inside and putting a bullet into a cow strictly for fun.\u00a0 Franco finds humor in the man at various points, particularly when he invades a chicken coop and has tough time capturing one of the flustered birds.\u00a0 He defecates in the woods (in a scene that Judd Apatow might want to copy in a future movie), wiping his butt with a stick.\u00a0 Snot drips from his nose, causing some of the audience to turn away.\u00a0 He is pursued by the sheriff who\u2019d like to put a bullet in him but is apparently restrained by his oath of office.\u00a0 He decorates his cave with decomposing bodies, one of whom he lovingly dresses in a new outfit finishing the job with lipstick, and sets up three stuffed animals which he wins in a carnival shoot.<\/p>\n

If you are repelled, the movie has worked.\u00a0 The Tennessee-set story is not like Walt Disney\u2019s 1946 movie \u201cSong of the South,\u201d nor will you hear anyone burst into the song \u201cZippa Dee Doo Dah.\u201d\u00a0 You will not leave the theater indifferent, and as stated above you may even find some sympathy for the man as he sets about the rugged southern terrain.\u00a0 Nor do we ever find out the reason for his pathology. Haze so dominates the proceedings that you might almost forget the role of the Sheriff Fate, his deputy, or the townsperson who gets shot near the conclusion.\u00a0 Whether this is thematically your kind of pic, you\u2019d be churlish to dismiss Haze\u2019s look, his bellowing, and the way he must be suffering.<\/p>\n
