What to know

In general I don't particularly enjoy graphic novels, but this is a story I admire. However, I feel that the book doesn't quite capture the devastatingly potent psychological effect Tom’s heroic act of violence has on him and his family members as well as the film does. A History of Violence premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2005 and was released in the United States on September 30 following a limited release on September 23, 2005.

Indeed, there is surely a doctoral thesis to be written on the subject, a basic outline of which I provided in my original Violence review (written for Jigsaw Lounge in September 2005) in which I compared the film versions of the two novels (Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition was released in 2002): "both are adaptations of graphic novels featuring Irish-American gangsters, tracing the way violence impacts upon the male psyche and informs father-son relationships. But whereas Mendes became bogged down in picturesque sentimentality as his movie sprawled beyond the two-hour mark, Cronenberg's approach [running time: 96 minutes] is one of cool, crystalline efficiency."
