Talhotblond ★★★☆☆ ∞
A better story than documentary, perhaps, but worth seeing regardless. This is a film about a lethal online love triangle, with an amazing stranger-than-fiction twist — beware of spoilers! You want to get this nasty, surreal surprise.
I saw Talhotblond at Vancouver’s Pacific Cinémathèque last night. There was a great public talk with Dr. Rob Tarzwell after, with quite a memorable “psychopathy checklist” for one of the people in the story, and some excellent expert interpretation of the effed up stuff we’d just seen on screen — really much better than the expert interpretation in the film.
Fun film-going!
