"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" (2017) Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
"With a slow moving camera, director Yorgos Lanthimos retreats the camera backward as an unseen doctor or surgeon begins to stitch the open wound as the simple black and white opening credits of “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” are displayed centrally on screen before, slowly, very slowly, disappearing.
To the strains of an imposing and doom laden Operatic music soundtrack we cut to the still unseen doctor or surgeon removing his blood stained scrubs and gloves, shown entirely in slow motion, before a further cut now demonstrates the first of many shots of almost never ending straight hospital corridors. Here we find “Steven Murphy” (Colin Farrell) and “Matthew Williams” (Bill Camp) ambling along this almost never ending corridor but not talking of the successful heart surgery they have both performed but of the performance of their individual wristwatches and how resistant they are and how well they perform underwater. As is the custom in all Yorgos Lanthimos directed films, the conversation is deadpan, straight, matter of fact and strangely pointed, awkward and with no filter".
The above is a brief excerpt from the beginning of my film review for "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" that I originally penned, posted and published to my Medium blog site on 10th April 2023 and forms part of my 7 volumes of "essential film reviews collection" that are free to read if you have an Amazon Kindle "Unlimited" package.
