Les Revenants
(Canal +, 2012-15)
Dead people come back to life and
return to a small French town.
The Alps, the dam, the small village.
Forget the explanation, embrace the
emotion: loneliness, remorse, pain, loss,
grief… and the inexplicable.

Rectify(Sundance Channel, 2013-16)
A man is released after
nearly 20 years on death row,
but is he innocent?
Meditative, slow, quiet,
whispery style.
The burden of guilt, the
impossibility of emotional
reconstruction

Rectify: melancholy and entrapment
“Well, we talked from season one onwards about frames within frames. We frame pictures
and paintings and we frame stories and framing is the rectangular, the square, the sharp
lines. 90 degree angles are human made and nature deals more with circles, so that’s
interesting. We like the metaphor of being enclosed. The frame, in the most radical sense,
is the frame inside the death row. So, hopefully, there are a lot of levels which it is working
on and we continue with ways to do that.”
(Ray McKinnon, creator of Rectify)
