Giants Being Lonely is both a paean to and nightmare of hometown life. The flashing-by visual beauty of the world captures the fleeting of time itself. We feel it set in amber. This beauty serves the emotional fevers of the teenaged boys on the ball team as well as the fevers and appetites of the starved, isolated adults of the town who feed on the boys. Amalia Culp's performance, almost mute but intensely expressive, as the coach's beautiful, terrorized, wandering wife especially stays in my memory.
