Mosquito Kingdom
Brad Hodge & Derek Elz, U.S., 2008, 103 min.
Sunday, Nov. 23, 5:45 p.m., Tivoli 3

This stylish contemporary film noir, shot in St. Louis and the Florida Keys, tells a complex, defiantly nonlinear story of betrayal. When Ash, a small-time crook, begins a reckless affair with the wife of a corrupt cop, he finds that he is in over his head and is forced to flee to a remote key, an island that soon proves as much prison as refuge. The Riverfront Times says of the film: "'Mosquito Kingdom' is dark. Not just in the sense that the hyper-stylized images onscreen rival the most inky-black and smoke-filled film noir, but dark for the way in which the film takes place in a frantic, bizarre and life-sucking moral vacuum." Venice Café regulars will take particular delight in the scene-stealing performance of bartender Dick Pointer as a sardonic henchman of crime boss Woodrell. With co-directors Hodge & Elz and screenwriter Jed Ayres.
