RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Gerry JF Film Quarterly FD University of California Press SP 43 OP 47 DO 10.1525/fq.2004.57.2.43 VO 57 IS 2 A1 McKinney, Devin YR 2003 UL http://fq.ucpress.edu/content/57/2/43.abstract AB Abstract Devin McKinney: Gerry. Director Gus Van Sant uses expressive landscape, long takes, and oblique, minimal dialogue to fashion a new version of the archetypal passage into manhood. Intensely abstract means are brought to bear on a narrative which crosses cultures and eras, but also has intimate thematic connections to Van Sant's previous work.
