There's a lot going on in this movie

There's a lot going on in this movie that people won't get, and I didn't really get it the first time I saw it back in the '90s. It's a movie about mythology, the Oedipus complex, and the old maxim that "Behind every great man is a great woman." The main character (Martin) goes on an adventure chasing the mythology he has become obsessed by, a self-help book written by Dennis Hopper's character, who serves as a father figure. Christopher Walken's character also serves as a father figure, While Marie, Hopper's secretary (played by the charming Illeana Douglas) does double duty as a mother figure and the woman who saves the film's protagonist in several ways. And it's really a movie about mid-life crisis.

Despite a cast of cinematic nutters to die

Despite a cast of cinematic nutters to die for, David Salle's unkempt farce is notable only for their eccentric performances. Although it has moments of humour, the darker tone towards the end jars a bit and the script, rather like the group of characters themselves, doesn't really know where it's going. A bit of a dud but worth a watch for Walken and co.

Unique film de l'artiste David Salle, Search and

Unique film de l'artiste David Salle, Search and Destroy ne sait jamais trop de quoi veut-il parler, au delà de la difficulté d'écrire un scénario, et surtout se perd dans des méandres qui ne valent réellement que par la qualité de l'interprétation des seconds rôles qui jalonnent le film. De ce fait, Christopher Walken, Ethan Hawke, John Turturro et Dennis Hopper ont une présence tout à fait bienvenue dans des séquences particulièrement étranges, mais l'intrigue principale n'est pas tenue et ne fait absolument aucun sens. Des films sur la créations cinématographique, les années 90 en sont remplies et force est de constater que Search and Destroy n'apporte rien au genre.
