Chopper

After many years as a jail-bird, Mark ''Chopper'' Read is today a free man who, despite the fact that he can't spell, has become one of Australia's most successful best-seller authors, with his series of autobiographies about how he without regrets murdered l4 people. Director Andrew Dominik was fascinated by the legend/myth/mystery surrounding Chopper Read and has made a movie about the man who - quick-witted, and ironic at his own expense wraps anyone around his little finger with his gift of the gab. Focusing on the talk, this is an experiment with light and tense. In cellblock H everything feels cold and hard under the bleak blue flourescent lights, but outside the walls. life is red, then yellow, green and brown. Trough the use of colours, the documentary status of the movie is played down and sequences repeated from different angles emphasise the feeling that we, like the filmmakers themselves, don't quite know what is the truth and what isn't.
