My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
In this allegedly true story, Michael Shannon plays Brad, a mummy's boy and aspiring actor, who returns home to San Diego after an unsettling experience in the Peruvian jungle. His subsequent performance in a Greek tragedy spills over into real life when he murders his mother. Willem Dafoe's nice-as-pie cop turns up to conclude the ensuing siege peacefully. Oddly understated, it's nevertheless as unnerving a vision of disintegration in suburbia as you would expect from director Werner Herzog and producer David Lynch, two of the movies most brilliantly demented visionaries.
