THIRST STREET

Nathan Silver Francia, 2017
Essentially this is Fatal Attraction with the gender perspective reversed, which may constitute some sort of progress but hardly obviates the castration anxiety at the root of the story.

If maybe more contrived and less risky than his previous affairs, Thirst Street is Silver appropriate salute to amour-fou. Burdge is never out of control, or portrayed like a neurotic women; her attitude of naivete and obliviousness is exemplary awkward but also shows an unrestricted frailty . Silver never uses one-dimensional characters and here is no exception: even Bonnard, at his most deceptive, is just an aimless man, discouraged and adrift.

There’s not much in the way of bruising insight into the makeup of a deteriorating personality, but for a compact spin through well-trod fields of lustful, sad-mad blindness, “Thirst Street” has its share of disreputably perverse pleasures.

Formally and narratively, the film never takes delusion or its targets lightly, and always conveys the understanding that such psychological states derive from the darkest, most vulnerable places.

The imagery is washed in giallo colors, with lots of nightmare yellow-greens. Vivid and mordant, Thirst Street imperfectly defines its lead, but makes her journey distinct.

This is behavior that many a commercial genre film — from romantic comedies to domestic thrillers — might depict from the man’s point of view as plainly psychotic, but “Thirst Street’s” script, co-written by the director and C. Mason Wells, is rather more even-handed.

Maybe Silver is trying to make a point saying more about emotionally and sexually manipulative men than the possibly psychotic women they toy with. But I doubt it. Thirst Street remains baffling and confused, unworthy of Burdge’s performance.

But as far as tales of obsession go, this one offers little fresh insight—only a striking palette and off-kilter tone, which together establish a sense of borderline absurdism.

The New York Times
Thematically shallow but stylistically rich, “Thirst Street” is best enjoyed with a hint of its heroine’s wilfully superficial vision.

There’s a lot going on here, and while the variety keeps the film lively, not all of it is seamlessly interwoven. But Burdge holds the picture together, playing a character who walks a fine line between being sympathetically damaged and terrifyingly loony.

Now would be as good a time as any to confess a friendly acquaintance with the involved talent here, as well as feeling a powerful ambivalence towards every new film of Silver's. And I think this is the desired effect: With the willfully lurid suicide scene, the intrusion of Angelica Huston's narration, and above all the spacey opacity of Burdge's performance, which has more than a touch of Julie Hagerty to it, Thirst Street rejects every entry to empathy, a real pebble-in-the-sock agitation.

Nathan Silver is no stranger to docu-art hybrid, but his latest directorial effort is decidedly not that. His most visually audacious work to date, co-written with C. Mason Wells, evokes the textures of the past, of Walerian Borowczyk and Andrzej Żuławski at once sharpened and softened into something playful. Sean Price Williams lends an excellent eye, dousing grainy video in boudoir reds and louche neons in thisappealing pastiche whose pretentiousness maintains a high degree of accessibility.
