Description: | The Scar is a film in three chapters inspired by a true event with names, scenes and locations having been fictionalised through the use of Magical Realism. In chapter one four passengers are on a journey in a black Mercedes, unaware of their significance as state archetypes: a Police Commissioner, an elected MP and a right-wing assassin. The fourth passenger is Yenge, the only female traveller, silenced by the genre conventions of her role in the film. In chapter two, Yenge’s noir voiceover begins to interrupt the male characters’ forced bravado as they are haunted by the Resistant Dead – the residual movements created from stories of people refusing to be forgotten. The film’s final part, The Gossip, addresses tales of female emancipation and empowerment. |
