Directed by Nina Menkes
Revealed gradually in jarring and obtuse narrative shards, Menkes’ feature reveals a story of horror and mystery: that of a man discovered in the midst of a terrible crime, and the torpor of shock and banality that follow among the group of Marines who come across the scene. A masterful deployment of narrative bricolage, the film soberly suggests the futility of reconstructing or understanding cataclysmic events.
