Derailed (Afsporet)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Denmark, 1942, 106 mins, Danish with funky English subtitles
\n.<\/p>\n

Contemporary directors strive to make us forget we\u2019re watching a film. But \u2018Derailed\u2019 is a mesmerizing old black and white movie whose lurid delights make us remember the magic of cinema. A lost waif last seen wandering off in \u201ca dark afternoon dress, a grey fur coat and small grey hat\u201d as described by police, walks down underworldly stone steps to the dark harbour as in a dream, into our dreams. She sits down\u2014\u201cI\u2019m so tired\u201d\u2014and finds sanctuary in a den of thieves presided over by a one-legged Bible-quoting old man. A handsome bad boy is meanwhile released from prison. What a beautifully executed sequence as he emerges from the prison door then walks along a path to be greeted warmly by a friend. The scene is wordless like a silent movie. The two men walk on side by side then stop to light up fags and walk on, trailing smoke. Without a word we feel their love and friendship.<\/p>\n

After an extremely daring cat-fight between two whores in high-heels tumbling around in simulation of rough lesbian sex, the bad boy comes through the door of the den of thieves to be ecstatically greeted. So fate brings the two together with the introductory words, \u201cPrincess, this is Janus, back from his estate on the moon.\u201d The amnesiac girl gazes into his eyes with total conviction, and the bad boy is lost. He homes in on her with a flashlight like a robber in the night. They\u2019re happy but you know this film noir won\u2019t end well. A happy ending a la The Graduate\u2014\u201cElaine! Elaine!\u201d & the bus ride\u2014would\u2019ve been truly subversive. (Alice Skinhead)<\/p>\n
