My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (2009)

Director: Werner Herzog
Writers:  Werner Herzog, Herbert Golder
Cast:      Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny
Inspired by a true crime, a man begins to experience mystifying events that lead him to slay his mother with a sword.

The film is a collaboration between two legendary filmmakers Werner Herzog and David Lynch (Producer). You can see elements from both their styles in this film. In the beginning itself we know about the murder, murderer and where he is hiding. We learn about the murderer as the film progresses through several flashbacks when events are narrated by those who knew him. Its a good little film made on a tiny budget.

Rating: 3/5
