Yay, “My Son, My Son…” is getting an Austin run at the Drafthouse Ritz:
Ostriches, matricide and unhinged lunacy abound in this cop-procedural follow up to Mr. Herzog’s still-in-theaters masterpiece BAD LIEUTENANT. This time, Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon fills Nic Cage’s crazy shoes and the whole thing’s actually based on a true story. A young man drives a sword though his mother, killing her, then holes up with a couple of hostages while detective Willem Defoe pieces together the decent into madness from stories by the killer’s girlfriend (Chloe Sevigny) and the always menacing Udo Kier. That’s as much as we want to say right now…
…just so we can better enjoy the looks on your faces when you walk out of the theater. Don’t miss this one.
