In Her Skin

Alive or so..

Alive or so..

My wife is unable to come up with a good reason why you’d like to see an accurate movie about what really happened in Melbourne in 1999. But she did watch it all the way through.

You should see the movie without reading anything about the facts. Forget facts. Good performances by Sam Neill, Guy Pierce and various Sheilas (it is set Australia after all). Amazingly, the biggest parts of life and death both in the plot are female. Can you believe that?

No wonder Sam Neill spends most of his time on camera shaking his head. Unless men are really so much in charge down under that shaking your head is an indicator of the next sex act. Sorry, Sam. If you’re not married, enjoy yourself. If you are, consider the continent of Australia the equivalent of the dumbest few square miles in America — Las Vegas, where everything awful happens and nobody ever mentions it.

    It is also the opposite of what prime numbers sound like. Opposite in many dimensions. And prime numbers are rare as any Dr. or St. will tell you; to really know that you have to see very far beyond the horizon. Beyond ignorance. And who does that these days?

    A few points of light and tomorrow will always be worth siezing!

    • Musical Escher. But you CAN actually hear the edit-transition. Maybe that’s the point. I’ve been meaning to talk about the Overton Window…

  2. For those who might watch this movie, the murder at the center of it is indescribably graphic, prolonged, and horrifying. The rest is a restless lake of tragedy.
