Film Review - Let the Corpses Tan

LET THE CORPSES TAN 1

As they proved with their previous collaborations, “Amer” and “The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears,” directors Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani are not interested in supporting a traditional dramatic viewing experience. They like to toss their audience into the deep end of the ocean, pumping up stylistics and abstract asides to a point where everything else about the movie becomes a secondary pursuit, with pure cinema their personal deity. “Let the Corpses Tan” is actually based on a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid, but the film version doesn’t concern itself with the ways of literary structure. Instead, the feature is a blast of sound and vision, becoming a premiere sensorial free dive that, after the first 30 minutes, does away with any intentions to tell a story. The helmers go wild with their widescreen craftsmanship, supplying a groaning, grinding cops and robbers tale that has no distinct shape, just pure filmic power.  Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
