Chinese Boxes: Review

starstarstarstar
An engrossing, although convoluted, thriller that turns standard cinematic conventions inside out. Patton is an innocent American living in a less-than-respectable section of West Berlin who gets himself mixed up with a murderous drug kingpin's operations. The night before he is to depart for Amsterdam for a rendezvous with his girlfriend, Marsh has a tete-a-tete with the nymphish Jensen. The following morning Jensen turns up dead in his bathroom, having overdosed on heroin. If that isn't enough to hang Marsh, the fact that she is an American diplomat's 15-year-old daughter almost is. From that point on, Marsh is on the run, eluding a strange array of ominous characters while trying to find a safe way home. The film is somewhat reminiscent of Wim Wender's AN AMERICAN FRIEND (1977), which is perhaps more than a coincidence. The producer of CHINESE BOXES, Sievenrich, also produced Wender's PARIS, TEXAS, and writer L.M. Kit Carson wrote the story on which PARIS, TEXAS is based. leave a comment
