No modern director may be harder to pigeonhole than Carl
Franklin, whose films touch every raw human nerve. In One False Move,
perhaps the finest, bleakest thriller of the '90s, Franklin
combines small, unerring details of poor white and black Southern life with
a sophisticated pacing that leaves even hardened crime-film fans breathless.
His take on '40s film noir in the adaptation of Walter Mosley's Devil in
a Blue Dress is both true to period and utterly contemporary in its hero's
moral quandary. And One True Thing traces a deceptively low-key suburban
family drama, in which masks of deception--and anguish--are pulled away
one at a time, like layers of skin.
