Arguably Gus Van Sant's best movie, Drugstore Cowboy uses nimble, no-budget techniques -- fast-motion cinematography, odd camera angles, and dreamlike imagery -- to paint a mesmerizing portrait of Portland, Oregon, junkies in the early '70s. This funny, offbeat tale stars Matt Dillon as Bob, the leader of the reprobate crew who support their appetite for a wide variety of mood-altering drugs by stealing them from pharmacies. Dillon is superb as the superstitious squad leader, worrying about hexes that promise bad luck and musing about drugs in a voice-over that runs throughout the movie. The talented supporting cast includes Kelly Lynch as Bob's girlfriend, Diane, and Heather Graham in one of her first feature roles as the newest member of the crew. A special treat is the appearance of Naked Lunch author and infamous heroin devotee William S. Burroughs as a junkie priest. Van Sant's clever visual style makes Drugstore Cowboy one of the most effective evocations of drug-induced mental states, and Elliot Goldenthal's original music nicely underscores the film's dryly humorous, unsentimental tone., Barnes & Noble
