A History of Violence 31 October 05

Section: article

Categories: Film / in-a-cinema

I appreciated this film’s restrained and simple direction and cinematography and the fact that there was very little background music. The violence was graphical (it is based on a graphic novel) but not gratuitous, also realistic from a martial arts’ point of view.
