Screening Log, November 2007

Death of a President
UK / 2006

This could be the first instance in which a director, hoping to strengthen the dramatic pull of a stock-footage moment, incorporates technology from “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”: Dick Cheney, speaking at the funeral of his late boss and friend, convulses mid-eulogy and, for a split second, grows a new set of lips. I’m not sure from which rotunda memorial service of the last few years Gabriel Range borrowed this footage but, much like the rest of the film, it’s a pointless and detestable display.
