Twin Murders

Twin Murders breaks with the traditional narrative style of film and enters a poetic discourse through which different levels of reality and fiction can coexist logically. The film explores the themes of post colonial thought from a personal perspective. However, personal anecdotes are presented alongside textural references to the thought of Jorge Luis Borges, a leading thinker from Latin America. This points to a coherent critique of the 'point of view.' The film presents itself as a series of crossing viewpoints that create a unique universe. The linking thread in this uncertain universe created by the film is a constant revisitation of the narration of a twin murder heard on the radio. As the film advances, the complexities of the murder case become more apparent, taking us from a reference to cult murder thrillers to more metaphysical implications of what it means to kill and how it may be necessary to kill in order to live. This is again a re-enaction of the way in which Borges operated in his short stories and demonstrates its close link to his thought.
