The latest entry in Paul Schrader's thematic trilogy, Master Gardener is tender, tense, contemplative, and still in your face. lou_kicks' NYFF60 review:
In a short time lapse, a multicolored flower blooms in an all-white, spaceless place, hovering in studio photography limbo. It dissolves away, replaced by another. The screen splits and two bloom simultaneously. More flowers of various colors fade in and out while’s opening credits change over them. Veteran writer/director Paul Schrader has always had a visual obsession with beauty in isolation.
The house she occupies sits mossy and dour like a rock on the colonial plantation, big southern trees draped all around it. A relic, it looks like it’s molding over, despite the wonder of the surrounding garden where life flourishes. Like Narvel and Norma, the plantation has surrounded itself with beauty to obscure the past.
