The GenX Show

Deep dive into the rural neo-noir classic At Close Range (1986)


Listen Later

Jeff takes you on a journey through the extremely dark underbelly of America's rural farms and sees Christopher Walken and Sean Penn in At Close Range (1986). A brutal, extremely dark yet eerily melancholy movie about family, crime and having a sadistic yet charming father/crime boss. This movie contains potentially Walken's best performance and Penn is at his early years peak.

Also, this movie is more famous for containing maybe Madonna's best song, Live to Tell. It plays in a slowed down instrumental version throughout the movie. This is one of a kind rural neo-noir.

Enjoy the show!
