Legal Memory --
Description du film [en anglais] :
« In 1959, a nondescript introvert named Leo Mantha was executed in British Columbia. Convicted of murdering a young man, his lover, on a Victoria naval base, Mantha went into the books as the last man hanged in that province. [...] Steele and Tomczak bring a visual as well as a conceptual sophistication to the film, using swimming video textures and the dreamy quality of archival footage as counterpoint to the bleak facts of the narrative. »
