Remember My Name (1978)
Country: US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Alan Rudolph
Cast: Geraldine Chaplin, Anthony Perkins
Synopsis:
For no clear reason, a woman just out of prison stalks a married construction worker.
Review:
The script is vague even about the true nature of crucial past events, but the acting and oddness of the action compel attention. The intermittent references to the outside world, in the shape of a Budapest earthquake, are surely significant, the newsreader's conviction of our basic shared humanity contrasting uncomfortably with the characters' lack of a moral centre. That we are seeing the meting out of some unspecified revenge seems clear, but the erratic behaviour of the Chaplin character makes this film ultimately as unappealing as it is intriguing.
