 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Sunshine State
With the possible exception of David Gordon Green (whose follow-up to George Washington, All the Real Girls, opens later this year), no other white male director has paid such close attention to the legacy of slavery in the South as writer-director John Sayles does in Sunshine State.
Sayles continues exactly where Faulkner left off, tackling the institutionalized racism that seethes in the New South, specifically in the fictional town of Delrona Beach, Florida, a capitalist-wary community trying to reconcile its past and tradition-free present.
Gordon Clapp's Earl Pickney is so tortured by his work for Plantations Inc. that you'd think Sayles was punishing him by frustrating the character's suicide attempts.
