A critic's review: This newest work by film artist Jane Public is a visceral exploration of the body as an emotional foreign archive of experience, trauma and place. Source material included/s imaginary life experiences, family politics and impossible romance. The depiction of true love tortured by impossible abilities narrated in foreign language.
p.s. Director Kathryn Bigelow has defended the depiction of torture in her latest film Zero Dark Thirty, a dramatisation of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Bigelow insisted her movie does not suggest the al-Qaeda leader would not have been located without so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques". "That's a misrepresentation of the film," said the Hurt Locker film-maker.
However, the film, she said, shows "a pretty wide array of tactics" being used over the 10 years it took to identify Bin Laden's hiding place. Zero Dark Thirty has drawn criticism from within the US government with some senators complaining it perpetuates "the myth that torture is effective".
p.s. "Depiction is not Endorsement" he said sipping on a Diet Coke in response to her film's controversial criticism. LINK:http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-0116-bigelow-zero-dark-thirty-20130116,0,5937785.story
