Remember My Name: Review

starstarstarstar
Perkins is a construction worker, happily married to Berenson and leading a quiet, modest lifestyle. After becoming the victim of vandalism, Perkins discovers his ex-wife, Chaplin, is out on the streets after serving a long jail sentence for murder. She, in her zombielike, pathetic manner, tries to win back Perkins. She also terrorizes Berenson (in the film's best scene) by creeping around the house with a butcher knife while Berenson goes about her daily routine. Chaplin overstays her welcome and soon gets tossed back into the slammer, where an obligatory exposition scene takes place. Produced by Robert Altman (who hasn't done a film anywhere near the quality of this one in quite some time) and directed by Alan Rudolph (CHOOSE ME, a more recent picture that has since achieved near-cult status), REMEMBER MY NAME attempts to be both a thriller and a character study. It isn't very suspenseful and cannot decide whether Perkins or Chaplin is the main character. Most disturbing are the continual, insulting messages blaring on television sets that are always in the background--apparently telling us that the problems in Perkins' and Chaplin's lives are minor compared with the disasters that occur throughout the world. This picture is nothing more than an average thriller, along the lines of studio programmers, which is blessed with some captivating performances. leave a comment
