I can’t explain and I don’t know why, but I love this glorious train wreck of a movie. I read the three graphic novels before seeing the movie and even though it’s all over the place, I still got the gist of the story that Richard Kelly was trying to tell. That being said, it most definitely isn’t for everybody.

Southland Tales is one of only a few films that is simultaneously a mess and a masterpiece. From a narrative and pacing standpoint the film is infuriating and at times nonsensical and yet from a cinematic and thematic standpoint it’s both stunning and unlike anything else out there. It’s an absolutely confounding work, even as someone who considers Donnie Darko one of his all time favourites and yet since watching it a couple years ago, the film has never left my mind. There really is nothing like it and only the recent Under the Silver Lake comes close to the dizzying, hypnotic feeling that this film gives. I seriously hope that Kelly gets the chance to finally finish this narrative as a Netflix mini series or something but honestly I don’t the stars would align for it again. Still Richard Kelly is one of the most misunderstood and under appreciated directors out there. His narrative voice is so distinct and if he’d have come up around the time of A24 and the indie rise, he’d be a far more celebrated name.

Yeah it's weird how well Philip K Dick movies get received when this one fits right up that ally. Like Scanner Darkly and Minority Report. Yeah some bits are corny and funny but it's meant to be. The movie knows it's ridiculous. The weirdest thing is that a lot of it has come true. The whole influencers/moviestars/pornstars over attention and the surveillance. It's felt to stupid back then and not stupid enough now. I too love this movie and I hope he gets to make that director's cut. I never really liked Donny Darko until I saw the director's cut so this can only get better.

I agree 100% Such a unique encapsulation of the Y2K/post 911 era with the choice of music, setting and actors. It's even a clever satirization of the culture of that era, which I don't think I've seen before. At least to this extent. It makes sense it would become a cult classic in recent years with its prophetic nature and our obsession with millennial/post millennial nostalgia

Honestly the fragmented half-stories are one of the reasons I love this movie so much. The whole setup really makes you imagine just how messed up and bizarre the world is from small details. Never tell the audience the full story. Never start from the beginning. Make those moments that will lodge themselves in the minds of those who don't quite understand what they are watching.

I remember watching this and liking it but feeling the same as many - "Where does this 'fit'?" It's a beautiful movie with great performances that really does garner a second look. When I say it's strange and fascinating, it's not to say it was bad - I think it's interesting. I'm glad it's gotten a cult following because it deserves one. When you put your mind on paper maybe you lose something. Richard Kelly is still trying to find that and that's an inspiration.

His movies were directed for the audience of 1980’s and early 1990’s. Unfortunately people after 9/11 and especially after releasing an iPhone got too dumb to follow his narrative or understand all nuances. His movies being commercial flops is just a statement of how low humankind had fallen. I guess Kubrick’s movies wouldn’t earn their budgets back as well in the TikTok era.

Only ever saw it once, and that was back then. I found it a pretty exhausting experience as opposed to Donnie Darko. That movie was complex, hard to fully grasp on first viewing - but you were invested anyway because you cared for the characters and the situations they were in were relatable. However, with Southland Tales you were treated with an abundance of shrill caricatures in borderline unfollowable subplots and I just couldn't be bothered. Also I found it visually unappealing. But well, might be worth revisiting after all this time. I'll see.

It's great that you're covering this! The whole thing is a tribute to the work of Philip K. Dick: crazy situations, everyone on edge for reasons they can't really explain, and no one really clear on just what reality is. It's too bad that Kelly wrote Part 1 of the movie's narrative as a graphic novel; the movie begins with (if I remember correctly) a big Roman numeral '2'. This is not a good way to win over an audience.

First time I watched Southland Tales I remember thinking "wtf did I just watch?" but it was one of those mental itches that I couldn't give up and kept thinking about. I wanted to figure out so I rewatched it multiple times, now I love it. It usually comes up anytime I'm talking movies with someone just to see if they've ever seen it. Justin Timberlake and Sean William Scott (who is a very underrated actor in his own right, imo) are the characters/acting performances that really stood out to me in this one.

Also- my freind and I were watching it one night after it came to DVD, and noticed the phone number in that one scene didn't start with 555, so we called it out of curiosity...

I know this movie's an absolute mess, but I really love it, and think it's underappreciated. It's extraordinarily visionary, both in terms of the political/technological themes at work at the time, and presaging the future. I also like that it's a weird, obtuse film that forces you to think about it - and it looks great. Feels like a double standard that David Lynch gets heaped with praise for traits which, personally, I thought Richard Kelly executed better and with more substance.

I watched this movie one day on cable. My son happened to be walking thru the room early on and stopped to watch for a few minutes. It clearly didn't interest him, but he did ask me what it about. I said, "I don't know". He said he was going to the gym, said goodbye and left. A couple hours later, he got back home, walked thru the room and looked at the tv and asked "are you still watching that same weird movie?" I answered yes, and then he asked "so, what's it about". I honestly had to answer "I...um... I don't know." I have watched it a total of 4 times, and I guess its too clever or sublime for me to get.

First I want to say that people who hated this film I completely understand the movie has a lot of storylines going all over the place. There are some movie that messiness doesn't work (looking at you The Bonfire of the Vanities) but messiness work for me in this movie and I liked the movie, this movie was ahead of it time. This is one of those movie for people that think outside of the box (no pun intended) or don't trust what society or the government this movie is for you. I think that Kelly should remake this movie as a limited TV show or a series on HBO or streaming service because this movie has a lot to say and TV right now is the perfect medium. I hope he read this and he would think about it.

Concepts/ideas are ok. Needed someone to help him guide it and maybe not have important details in the comics.

I already loved this film, but finding out Kelly managed to achieve this on just 17mil just makes it mind-blowing what he accomplished.

This movie is actually terrible. All these comments of people saying it's underrated are fricking embarrassing. The world building was horrible. A bunch of stuff happens for no reason. The final edit was completely vapid with seemingly dozens of plot threads introduced with no payoff. The movie's main concern seemed to be shoving in as many popular celebrities as possible to the detriment of every other aspect. The comparison to Philip K Dick makes a certain amount of sense, yet I consider it offensive nonetheless. Dick was a literal schizophrenic but his stories were not intentionally incoherent and abstract. What a huge waste of everyone's time and money. 👎

As wildly bad as this movie is, I do give it props for trying. I worked at a convenience store at the time and actually knew one of the little people that was in the film (the blonde guy at USIDENT and also the small SWAT guy during the anarchist raid). He said it was a blast even though the movie sucked in the end. I guess I feel that way with the movie I was in in regards to The Postman. I do appreciate the fact he tried going multi level marketing with a really interesting website and graphic novel series.

Its a mess but not a bad mess. Would it work better as a mini series if there was a longer cut? Given the range of ideas I suspect it would and in today's market there would be the space for it to work.

This movie i really hated at first but after doing some research and reading into the backstory and all the shit Richard Kelly had released surrounding the movie made me go back and give it another try and while i still don't love and absolutely can't blame anyone for hating it i really feel there actually was a good movie somewhere amongst all the shit he came up with..he just really needed a editor and someone to check his ass..i have no idea why he was ever considered anything near a genius for doing pretty much just one good movie in Donnie Darko... I did the homework to try to make sense of this but Richard Kelly is crazy as hell to think anyone would want to think this damn hard ..Thanx for the video as always great man

I remember watching this. Like Donnie Darko, which was drastically cut down and edited, I wonder if it could have been saved by outside help. I recall the Justin Timberlake singing sequence was awesome and also the Ice Cream Van sequence was an amazing spectacle. It wasn't total shit, it was just really muddled and convoluted.
