What critics say influenced The Tribe
Now imagine that after the credits rolled, Ice and J-Lo decided that the best thing to do with their camera now that they’d located this mythic people, whose ancient ways of life will be totally alien to western civilization, was to make them act in a remake of Larry Clark ’s youthsploitation headache “ Kids ”.
Filmed entirely with nonprofessional young actors, “The Tribe” recalls early silent films of course, but also such alarmist cinematic portraits of the young as “Kids” — especially in its confrontational sexuality — and the so-called “problem pictures” of the 1950s.
The director pulls no punches in his ugly depiction of base human behavior, and the result is a little like watching a movie by Larry Clark (Kids, Bully).
Slaboshpytskiy films in mobile, long takes, smooth and portentous, which at times recall Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket or Gus Van Sant’s Elephant.
