Film equivalent of unreliable narrator
Wed, 6 Sep 1995 13:37:33 -0400
Lang Thompson's was looking for examples of unreliable narrators in
films:
"Angel Heart" has the Mickey Rourke character blind to his own actions
"Darling" has Julie Christie narrating to a magazine journalist a
toned-down version of what really happened.
and, although the name escapes me, the recent (last three years) film
with Liam Neeson playing a "set-up" man fighting for his life, after
his wife and an artist are found murdered in a Brighton hotel bedroom
is also a fine example of narration twisted to win the audience's
sympathies.
