"How will you kill me this time?" "I'll cut your throat"--opening lines of Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
Dreamed of Father driving us somewhere to the west and forgetting where he was going; Father entering a mental institution; me saying, "There have been few US presidents lamer than the Bushes."
We drove down to Sunnyside Park. On the way back they dropped me off at the Cinematheque to see Elio Petri's Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, a "relevant" 1970 thriller about a Columbo-style "perfect murder" committed by a police chief about to be promoted. Couldn't sit through it.
Dinner was McDonald's, along with the rest of yesterday's ribs.
Saw 11'09"01 at the Carleton. It's a series of short films about the September 11 disaster. A mixed bag, of course, but worthy overall. [Shouhei Imamura's film concluded, "There is no such thing as a holy war."]
