Welcoming back Carly Severn, we take a moment to indulge in Michael Mann’s existential police / serial killer drama Manhunter. We talk about the film’s distinctive use of unexpected style to convey the inner lives of its characters, the film’s (and Mann’s overall) focus on the individual rather than societal, dreams, tigers, mental illness, men doing work, men playing god, and the angst of being called to do something impossible.
I see you there. And I see me desired by you. Accepted and loved in the silver mirrors of your eyes.
