Cajun life depicted in 'Shy People'
By Kevin Dilmore Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Cajun is trendy. With Cajun music festivals, Cajun cooking spices and Cajun potato chips, the time seems right for a movie about the people of the Louisiana bayous. But do not dismiss "Shy People," now playing at the Hillcrest Theaters, as something slapped together by Hollywood moguls out to make some fast money. It is a film that begins slowly but builds into a fascinating and complex portrait of Cajun life.
The film stars Jill Clayburgh as Diana Sullain, a writer for Cosmopolitan magazine. To gather background information for an article about her heritage, Diana flies to southern Louisiana with her daughter, Grace (Martha Plimpton), in search of her long-lost relatives.
Review
Deep in the bayou, Diana finds the last traces of the Sullivan bloodline; her cousin Ruth (Barbara Hershey) and three of Ruth's sons. Rule rules her children with a quiet, dictatorial strength. She forces them to be reclusive in ways ranging from telling ghost stories about their dead father to keeping one son, Tommy (John Philbin), locked in a toolshaded.
Diana quickly realizes that Ruth is not altogether sane, but is torn between helping the only family she has left and protecting her daughter from a potentially dangerous situation. The film examines two women and the similar ways they try to reach out to their children.
Barbara Hershey is powerful as Ruth Sullivan, a woman at her wits end doing what she believes is the best for her family. She delivers a performance dynamic in range, encompassing heated arguments and ice stares. Hershey's ability to an audience with this well-deserved crown woman won her a well-deserved Best Actress Award at last year's Cannes Film Festival.
Hershey's chemistry with Clayburgh also salvages Clayburn's performance. The character of Diana is so vaguely written, she seems to
serve only as a sounding board for Ruth.
Clayburgh's is the only weak performance in the film, though. Martha Plimpton is flamboyant and a little wicked as Grace, Diana's worldly teen-age daughter. And the three actors playing Ruth's sons are great complements to the film.
"Sky People" is directed by André Konchalovsky, who also guided 1966's "Runaway Train." He captures the beauty and mystery of the bayou with his careful cinematography and sound. The camera drifts smoothly through the waters and records images shaded in pale greens and greys that appear more painted than photographed. He then contrasts the scope of the picture with detailed sounds such as the buzzing of a single fly or the soft lapping of waves against the shore.
With high caliber of performances and production, "Shy People" has nothing to be shy about.
"Shy People" is rated R for violence, language and sexual situations.

"When the day comes that a Palestinian state is established, Gaza's riots will be recorded in history like the "Boston massacre." When Israel troops dragged those Arab youths behind a building and broke their hands with two-by-fours, those were our tax dollars at work. Because America provides Israel $3 billion in annual subsidies ($1,000 for every Israeli soldier), we cannot escape responsibility for what is being done."
