Corrigan, Having Recovered

Running concurrently through the film are two overt narratives, one a thriller told by a disembodied voice, and the other a dialogue between three actors. Both are open-ended and intermittent. Interwoven with the narrations is a strong formal concern, that of the articulation of space shown by cameras in three positions in each of three locations. The actions of people appearing in front of the cameras have a formal function of linking spaces through editing, and sometimes are invested with significance in the story. Film music codes are utilised to reinforce the suggestion of imminent significant action which is frustrated in the event.
I am interested in the tension that is created when the logic of the narrative confronts the seemingly disordered action and the work necessary to construct coherent space when seemingly disparate shots are edited together: perhaps a third narrative? – T.B.
