Shotgun Stories centered on a row between two sets of half-brothers, and it captured the tie-in between fatherlessness and the impulse to inflict vengeance like no American layer I’ve seen.
The straightforward comparison to Take Shelter is Todd Haynes’s Safe, in which a daily (Julianne Moore) is slowly moribund from modern life. The man's version comes a decade and a half later, at a heyday when the Book of Revelation has entered mainstream politics, when each year brings a unfledged intimation of the exact date the world will end, when hurricanes and floods and earthquakes and ardour waves and melting ice caps and industrial accidents and no jobs and Michele Bachmann’s off one's chump eyes are fixtures of our awake and at all unconscious lives.
