Siberia
Abel Ferrara's Siberia casts Willem Dafoe in the tundra of the titular region adrift in a sea of memories. Script and editing make clear that the action is occurring in the mind's eye of Clint, Dafoe's character. Self-indulgent and slightly batty, Siberia is well-paced, beautiful and incomprehensible. The glimpses we see of Clint's life are compelling, yet ephemeral because of their subjectivity. Ferrara and Dafoe's skills make the film visceral viewing, but the film's evocation of one man's unconscious will leave some feeling unmoored. Recommended to fans of Messrs. Dafoe and Ferrara. Others should be wary.
