Smart Alek (1993) [Short]

UK (MIFF1994,Fiction)
Director: Andrew Kotting

This visually freewheeling and quietly vicious concoction of soundscape, jump-cuts and 70s family values is a drama with not so much a twist in its tale as a total dislocation. Supposedly based on true events, the story springs straight from the pages of Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find, and is just as disturbing.
