Looking for a movie to rent I saw this box on the shelf. It was a crime drama with Willem Dafoe so it had potential. Then I saw Chlo\u00eb Sevigny\u2019s name and rented it. Halfway into the movie they\u2019re showing scenes outside of the house where the murder takes place and I think, \u201cWait, I recognize that street!\u201d It was filmed just up the hill from where I live in Point Loma. This movie is based on the true story of Mark Yavorsky, a graduate student at UCSD inspired by Aeschylus\u2019s Oresteia who stabbed and killed his mother with an antique sword on June 10, 1979. Yavorsky at the time had recently been cast in the lead role of a production of The Eumenides. He was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity, spending many years at Patton State Hospital before his release. Herzog describes the movie as \u201ca horror film without the blood, chainsaws and gore, but with a strange, anonymous fear creeping up in you.\u201d Written in 1995, Herzog and Golder didn\u2019t begin on it until 2008 when David Lynch got interested. At the time Herzog was filming Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans<\/em>, so filming began around San Diego in March 2009. Nominated for the Golden Lion at the 66th Venice International Film Festival, this was the first time in the festival\u2019s history that two Golden Lion nominations were given to the same director in one year. There\u2019s no dwarf in the movie but in a strange way one scene may show producer David Lynch\u2019s influence. In the market scene shot in Kashgar, Xinjiang province, China, Herzog took his crew to Kashgar on tourist visas to shoot the scene \u201cguerrilla film style\u201d so they could avoid the hassle of getting a Chinese film permit. They brought a small video camera which they used to film Michael Shannon wandering around in a crowded outdoor market. The scene has no narrative ties to the rest of the story. Chinese men in the scene look by turns quizzical and annoyed, mostly annoyed. Weird, strange, amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
