简要：At the same time, Special Forces agent Doc Alexander was required to engage in a secret truce with Mexican drug trafficking groups. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrated the execution of a senior member of the cartel on television, his chief of staff and doctors told him about the peace he had just ended. But it was too late because the cartel's thug Cuco had already turned his revenge gaze on Doc's daughter Dixie. They no longer let them be like Little Dixie: honed to the bone, all their gestures and movements were just a few words. Nowadays, too many genre films attempt to create meaning by accumulating ideas and intentions on the narrative framework. John Schwab, as always, took the opposite approach. Meaning and depth come from removing anything superfluous - by simplifying the plot to its essence, simplifying the characters to their core transactions and techniques. In the end, 'Little Dixie' feels like a vulgar novel version of Giacometti's sculpture, all of which are terrifying symmetries and mirrors. This is the purest and most philosophical crime film, starring Frank Grillo, the new darling of black films. Derived from: https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/little-dixie
