My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? by Werner Herzog (2009, 91 min.). Five Stars! Mesmerizinga singular cinematic object (Kevin Uhlich, Time Out New York). Based on a true story, police officer Hank is called to a bungalow in a respectable San Diego neighborhood where a man named Brad has barricaded himself in his house and taken two hostages. Across the street, Brads mother lies dead, found sprawled in a pool of blood, the victim of a sword wound. The son is suspected of the murder. Slowly the bizarre pieces of the story are placed in front of Hank. The mood and tone Herzog imparts is an eerie blend of David Lynch, who executive produced the film, and his own singular style.
