BLOODY CHILD (1996) NYFF 2021

 


Hallucinatory and fragmentary story of the a vet who is discovered in the desert digging a grave for his wife. What happened is left for the viewer to piece together as we bounce through various POV and places in time.

I am not certain what I think of this film. A puzzle box od sorts, with lots of ideas rolling around in it’s head, I feel it maybe too fragmented to fully work. I’m not sure it pulls everything together the way it wants to. I know not having everything is part of the nature of the film but at the same time it hits a gray area where things are neither explained enough nor obtuse enough to go with it.

Worth a look for the curious but all others can probably pass.
