| I saw this again this afternoon. If you don't know it, it's a British film, made in 1973 and stars Connery as a detective hunting a rapist of young girls and having a breakdown into the bargain. I don't know where it's set - the landscape is horrible; gray skies, grey buildings, estates, depressing shopping centres. Even the woodland is dismal. Connery is having flashbacks of all the horrors he's seen over the last 20 years, all the death and misery, which he's never talked about. He's a good policeman but a terrible human being - using his wife as an emotional punchbag. I've watched the film several times now and I'm not convinced that Connery himself isn't in fact the rapist. He finds one of the victims and the way he approaches her is quite wierd. The whole film is grim and incredibly disturbing. One of my favourites. |
