Southern tradition gone awry, 19 December 2004
Author:
Marc Femenella from Savannah, GA
Nothing at the 2004 Savannah Film Festival was quite as frustrating to
watch as the non-dimensional, feature-length helping of twisted
Southern principles, "Crazy Like a Fox." The plot: A man sells his
house to rich snobs and, after being tricked, changes his mind. He
manages to conjure up the support of his fellow Southern folk in an
effort to drive the outsiders out of their town. U.K. actor Roger Rees
plays Nat Banks, a Virginian farmer who even after living his whole
life in the South still hasn't been able to stop speaking with a
British accent (seriously, he does, and without explanation).
The bad guys, played like cartoon characters, manage to purchase Nat's
house fairly and squarely. Unable to deal, Nat begins camping out on
their property. Eventually, he musters the courage to seize the house
with the support of the police, judges and anyone else who doesn't care
about breaking the law.
Perplexing and ultimately unsettling, "Crazy Like a Fox" argues that
law, order and a free market are not valued in Virginia and that rich,
snobby people are mean and should be kicked out of small towns. More
astounding than this movie being accepted into the film festival is the
fact that someone, somewhere, funded this 98-minute disaster.
