Know Thyself
Good film about an ex-convict coming to terms with his fears and self-willed delusions and making his life better through the hard work necessary to overcome them.
Unless we come to terms with our fears others, to enslave us, will use them against us. They will also be exploited by ourselves to run away from whom we are and as an excuse for seeking the approval of others to solace our self disapproval. To escape full consciousness of this, we often seek power over others; explaining why so many are willing to violently protect their fears if one has nothing better to replace them with.
The convoluted and deliberately obscure style makes it a difficult film to follow, but it’s still worth hanging in there for the denouement. The casting is excellent and it contains all the necessary gangster movie thrills – albeit still managing to be somewhat pretentious.
