Irish-shot FREEZE FRAME stars the goofy, jug-eared guy from FIFTH ELEMENT and THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY as a paranoid murder suspect who constantly videotapes himself to prove his whereabouts. A TB-stricken detective has in it for him after the guy gets off on a triple-murder charge. Someone else appears to be shadowing the poor guy and possibly breaking into his home to steal some of his tapes. And a strikingly beautiful woman is after him for other reasons. The ending comes as a shocker of sorts, although it all feels a bit contrived. The film is shot mostly in muted colors or no colors at all, and the suspect wanders about with his head end eyebrows shaved and a videocamera attached to his torso. While this Kafka-esquire film is listed as running 99 minutes, after while it begins to seem more like 199 minutes. Not much honestly happens until the end. A truly erotic "rape" scene near the end perks things up a bit. For indie film fans only.
