| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
When reclusive Detective Stan Aubray (Willem Dafoe) is called
in to investigate a series of increasingly spectacular murders,
he is thrust into a dark and unsettling underworld that threatens
to reveal the secrets of his tormented past.
As elaborate as they are gruesome, the murders are a paean
to the mysteries of ANAMORPHosis, where different perspectives
reveal hidden meanings, clues to the crime, and, for Aubray,
something more ... personal. For the crime scenes resemble
those of a previous serial killer who terrorized New York
City before being tracked down and killed by Aubray and his
men five years before. That case has haunted Aubray ever since,
and something about these eerie copycat killings - seemingly
planned and executed with him in mind - force him to reexamine
the questions he's tried so hard to bury. Besieged on all
sides - by an ambitious young detective (Scott Speedman) with
his own take on the killings; by a troubled young woman (Clea
Duvall) with a dangerous link to his past; and by his own
paralyzing sense of guilt - Aubray must finally confront the
possibility he's been dreading - and denying - all along.
ANAMORPH, H.S. Miller's feature-length debut, reflects the
writer/director's passion for filmmaking by effortlessly merging
different styles and eras to create a smart, sophisticated
thriller. With the cool visual appeal of French policiers
and the unceasing suspense of Asian horror films, ANAMORPH
is a contemporary take on the genre-heavy, concept-driven,
rules-bending American films of the 1970s.
