<< "The veneer of civilisation is terribly thin..."Yes, that's probably a good enough theme. Some disjointed thoughts: I couldn't figure out what the detective (Dern's "father") was about, and how I got the impression he was involved with the "crime". I couldn't figure out if the crime was gratefully participated in by all sides, and if so then it's not really a crime. I couldn't figure out the meaning of the boy having lesbian (my impression again) parents. Or the bloody robins. I'll obviously have to watch it a few more times. Hopper was great, totally creepy. Dern's character was the only one that seemed straight and "normal". Siskel liked the movie, Ebert didn't, I did watch the short excerpt of their review on the disc, kinda surprised they put it there since Ebert was so negative.
