(15[1])This director’s trademark fractured editing style is demonstrated in a scene where a woman looks at a streak of blood on a photo of the inside of a church while her husband discovers that their (15[1])daughter has (*) drowned in a creek nearby. (10[1])In a film by this director, a man (10[1])blows up his car and commits suicide after failing to shoot his children while on a picnic in the outback.
