| CHARACTER (1997) | |
|
|
Character is a story told in flashbacks as the young lawyer, Jacob Katadreuffe, is taken in by the police after the death of a man. It seems like Jacob has committed the murder and the police listen to his story in order to find a motive for the murder. However, Jacob tells the story in order to prove his innocence. The narrative begins from Jacob's birth until the present time where the audience is provided with opportunity to follow the development of Jacob's character and his quest for self-actualization. Occasionally, the story is interrupted by questions from the police, however, these interruptions offer moments of reflection and transition between the acts in a very clever manner. In the end, the audience experiences a sublime story through an investigation of Jacob's disposition, which leaves room for self-reflection on the fabric of our own nature. |
