One of the most serious and profound films I've ever seen November 6, 2008
There are of course films which are obviously serious because they are about war or social injustice but this film is serious and profound in a more universal sense that it deals with the conditions of life as such, on a very basic level, encompassing the extremes that can be experienced, and in this real life case were experienced, by one man. In other words it deals with the nature of existence itself. The image system of this film operates through the opposition of heat and cold and this derives naturally from the background story which is the true story of Harry Oakes the millionare starting out in the snow and ice of Alaska and ending in the tropical heat of the West Indies. Those who know Roeg's work will not be surprised to know that the story perfectly fits Roeg's underlying fascination with shamanistic metaphysics, which can also be seen in other films of his especially 'Performance'. One of Roeg's most characteristic elements is the way he treats time and often space in what was once an innovative style of editing and this can be seen as an obvious metaphysical tendancy in his fims ( you may also remember the film called 'Insignificance' about Einstein and the time/space continuum or Relativity, where of course Einstein is the shaman). Roeg's continual flashbacks and fast edits going in both directions of time are his way of suggesting a dimension of transcendance, through this continuum. br /So the film works through a series of extreme oppositions in time and place, heat and cold, black and white and colour, nothingness and plenitude, poverty and wealth, solitude and society, natural law and the judicial system, loyalty and treachery, past and present.br /This film deals with themes much deeper than most films, or books for that matter, and can be compared to the all time film classics such as the Russian 'War And Peace' (which of course hinges on Andrei's vision of the time/space continuum), 'Les Enfants Du Paradis' (where the time/space continuum is represented by the crowd especially at the end) and 'The Music Lovers' (heat and cold, and a powerful reference to Shamanism), and the novels of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, and Dickens' 'Great Expectations' and 'Tale Of Two Cities'. Although I'm not claiming it's as good or important as they are it sets out admirably to be just as serious and profound in the area it stakes out in terms of it's own medium of film.br /I don't want to spoil the story for you but it should leave you shaken and metaphysically disturbed. And remember it's a true story. Buried in all the rest of it is a true murder case.
