Movie Reviews of Death and the Compass
Movie Review: Borges
Summary: 5 Stars
I will give this 5 stars based solely on the short film included in the DVD. I also have to ask, does anybody know where I can get more short films based on work by Jorge Luis Borges? Any help is appreciated.
Summary of Death and the Compass
Alex Cox (REPO MAN) directed this stylized adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges labyrinthine detective story about a totalitarian city of the future plagued by a rash of bizarre crimes. Peter Boyle stars as Lonnrot, a decidedly even headed detective prone to philosophizing and Christopher Eccleston is his nemesis, Red Scarlach, whom Lonnrot believes could be behind these ritualistic crimes. Set in a surreal landscape that provokes Lonnrot's philosophical musings and leads him through mystical cabals and conspiracies within conspiracies, DEATH AND THE COMPASS is a remarkable adaptation of Borges' story, and a fascinating, often exhilarating film.Art House & International DVD Video
