| In
the mouth of madness. The whole thing starts in a lunatic asylum. Sam
Neill is an inmate. To know why, you’ll have to see the film, listen
to his story, know that Sutter Cane is the most read writer of horror
stories in the world, the man who has disappeared and who has to be found
by Sam on orders from Charlton Heston in a village which may or may not
exist or could be Macondo or Yoknapatawpha or Umbria. And it would be
a good idea to find him soon because his readers can’t wait to read
the book on which he was working and which, as chance would have it, is
called In the Mouth of Fear or In the Mouth of
Madness (depending whether you see the movie in its original
or dubbed version). They’re nervous and are acting strangely. A
descent into literary and cinematographic hell, often much more real than
“reality” itself. |
