Surveillance

(BUKAERA / CLAUSURA / CLOSING CEREMONY) (LEHIAKETATIK KANPO / FUERA DE CONCURSO / OUT OF COMPETITION)

How about trying not to mention the name of Jennifer Lynch’s father? At the end of the day, Dad’s not wild about the end of this film and Jenny has kept it because she thinks there’s no other choice possible and because she is also the author of the film, as the second film her career which began with the restless Boxing Helena. Surveillance was in Cannes 2008. Everyone there recognised, and she admitted, the major influence of Rashomon by Kurosawa. Argument? It’s been a bad day on the motorway and things are not getting any better for the federal police played by Julia Ormond and Bill Pullman when they get back to the station. A serial killer is on the loose and several characters offer different versions of what is happening. Does it seem a bit like her dad’s films? No more than the book she wrote: The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer…
