    An underrated classic. I will be writing more about this soon…

    Master Gardener

    I appreciated this final part of this late Schrader trilogy working toward a decidedly more optimistic ending than the previous two films. Considering Schrader’s public comments about aging and mortality, I find the lack of any real explosive narrative catharsis here to be pretty emotionally provocative. Maybe people are less like stories and more like plants, living breathing things which need to be tended and manicured rather than words left behind in a notebook.
