  • Álex de la Iglesia Puzzles Over "The Oxford Murders"

    06/16/09 Thanks to the questionable state of "Oxford"'s one-time American distributor ThinkFilm, the screening was one of few opportunities to see the Elijah Wood-John Hurt thriller on a U.S. big screen -- according to de la Iglesia, the film will be going direct to DVD. And while reaction from parts of the world where the film did get a theatrical release was mixed, "The Oxford Murders" is an undeniable reaffirmation of de la Iglesia's status as one of the world's most inventive filmmakers, both visually (exemplified by a particularly breathtaking tracking shot of the streets of London) and as a storyteller (demonstrated by his application of philosophy to Guillermo Martínez's literally by-the-numbers tale of a professor and a student who go after a serial killer guided by mathematics).  |  Independent Film Channel (IFC)
