The Draughtsman's Contract Reviews
The ultimate postmodernist film
There is a plot, sort of. A murder that is never solved with enigmatic clues, signifiers that never match a signified. The film is all subtext, no text, and all surface, no depth. But this is not a complaint. The surface has a sinister glitter and the film hints that there is indeed nothing behind it. What you see is what there is. This is not to say the film has no political meaning. It clearly enough shows the exemption of privilege from responsibility which should be no news to us in the Republican ascendency. But the real meaning of the film is not its content but its very taking style, a triumph of imagery over substance, thus ultimate postmodernism.
Hey the guy has to die? Again?
Pretentiously morbid and opulently crafted. Not for me.
