Anyone who sucks in the 80s will include Anna Boden and “Freaky Tales” by Ryan Fleck, born in East Bay, a Berserk Quartet by VHS which celebrates the noisy vitality of Oakland and the creative spirit (which is so high that city registers in Kendrick Lamar / Drake Fud).
The duo behind “Half Nelson”, with Ryan Gosling, and a cover of other discreet Indies as well as the big budget “Captain Marvel” with Brie Larson agitated their bizarre flag raised in 1987 Oakland, where a green material has detached from a juice of spiritual practice in residents. The result is one of the most pleasant, but crazy, time in the cinema this year. And see this one in a theater: it should be experienced with a crowd.

The Tales Wild (the title come from an emblematic rapper of East Bay Too $ hort) take place with each other and take us to a roller coaster after the other. The opener presents two Punk adolescents from Oakland (Jack Champion and Ji-Young Yoo) and some of their rebel friends who launched the Bejesus of the Neonazis outside the 924 Gilman Street Club. It then takes place towards a rap confrontation between Besties STICE (Nomani) and Barbie (Dominique Thorne) – who works in a ice cream store where they repel the halves of a corrupt cop (Ben Mendelsohn) and too $ Hort (played by the rapper of East Bay Symba).
From there, he bounces to the collector of shaded debts Clint (Pedro Pascal) carrying out his last job, which goes wrong, and includes a classic exchange in a video store with a clerk (Tom Hanks), a brilliant moment which is Kismet for cinema lovers. The final finds the star of Golden State Warriors Sleepy Floyd (a well -lying Jay Ellis) finding no rest after making a shocking discovery just after a performance of 51 points against the Los Angeles Lakers.
“Freaky Tales” is not designed for the tense spectator who is not willing to go with the crazy flow, but if you fully kiss his passionate love for everything that is Oakland and cinema, music and sports of the 80s, you will be in cinematographic paradise. It certainly pulled me up there.
