Hands down the most powerful film at the 20th Annual Los Angeles Film Festival\u00a0 and one of my top five \u201cMust See Festival Films\u201d across the board is SUPREMACY.\u00a0\u00a0 Based on a true story, with a script by Eric J. Adams, director Deon Taylor demonstrates at every turn that he is gifted storyteller, exploring the dividing lines of race, family and the hate that fuels those lines with an intensity that at times is almost overwhelming with explosive emotion.<\/p>\n

\"LAFF<\/p>\n

Garrett Tully, a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, had just been released from the maximum security Pelican Bay State Prison not 15 hours earlier when he kills a state trooper.\u00a0 Now a fugitive and on the run, with the help of Doreen, a friend to the Brotherhood, the two go into hiding by breaking into what they believe is an empty home.\u00a0 On the contrary, this is the home of the Walker family who, as luck would have it, are the only black family in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Taking the family hostage, it falls on Mr. Walker to convince Tully and Doreen that killing him and his family is not the answer to his problems.\u00a0\u00a0 Walker, himself an ex-con, has no love loss for the cops, so much so he has all but disowned his own son who became one.\u00a0 Using this connective tissue, Walker hopes to reach Tully and resolve the volatile situation without interference by the police – and without harm to his family and friends. With race and rage fueled debates among the Walker family, we see how divisive the issues are between generations with perceptions of wisdom and patience sometimes taking a back seat to fear and false bravura.<\/p>\n

With a cast led by Danny Glover as Mr. Walker and Joe Anderson as Garrett Tully and buoyed by strong performances by Evan Ross, Derek Luke and Dawn Olivieri, by film\u2019s end we are as breathless and spent from the unfurling onslaught of emotion witnessed as are the characters.\u00a0 One of the best, if not the best performance of Glover\u2019s career, he is electrifying, encapsulating the mores of society and wisdom of experience\u00a0 with clarity of conviction.\u00a0 Oscar voters put Glover on your radar now for Best Actor consideration once the film finds a distributor and releases in theatres (which shouldn\u2019t take too long).<\/p>\n

Celebratory and significant with the lensing of SUPREMACY is that director Deon Taylor fought to shoot this on film.\u00a0 Despite all the technological advances today, there is a discernible difference between film and digital, one which here just fuels the emotional and visual grit and determination of the tonal\u00a0 bandwidth ever deeper.\u00a0 The ambient nature of film lends to an almost palpable and tangible emotional level, infusing the time and place and volatility of the supremacist psychology and battle with unspoken texture.<\/p>\n

Cinematographer Rodney Taylor uses light and lens to embolden the already powerful story, capturing and captivating with a visually visceral thread, and never moreso than in a climactic kitchen scene between Glover\u2019s Walker and Anderson\u2019s Tully.\u00a0 From fearful, claustrophobic situations in a closet to navigating the metaphoric hallways, corners and recesses of the Walker home, creating a different kind of choking emotional claustrophobia, Rodney Taylor brings a visual intensity to SUPREMACY that is heart-stopping.\u00a0 His lens is truly a window to the soul of the characters on the screen and into the conscience of each of us in the audience. Metaphorically extending the issues of race and skin color into the visual palette, the use of color itself is integral to the story.\u00a0 Then add Richard Molina\u2019s editing.\u00a0 Rapier, precise, Molina bobs and weaves the story, building tension at every turn\u00a0 and never moreso that in the heart-stopping climactic kitchen scene.<\/p>\n

Powerful.\u00a0 Emotionally charged. Riveting.\u00a0 Masterful.\u00a0 Must See.\u00a0 SUPREMACY is supreme cinema.<\/p>\n
