Morning Patrol - 1987 - 6/10
AKA - Proini Peripolos // Πρωινή Περίπολος
Her memory wiped, the landscape hostile and desolate, she is desperate to reach the city.
The Morning Patrol, guards, move with lethal intent, killing any survivors.
The city itself is deserted: plague, war, or a harvesting.
From her internal dialogue, we know her home was Manderley.
Except that is a fabrication, a fictional manor in du Maurier’s “Rebecca”.
Likewise, when she ponders death, the big sleep, now paraphrasing Chandler.
In the city, the TV runs, movie houses are open. Both run classic Noir films.
Later in the film, when she wonders how much time she has remaining, viewers will catch references by Dick.
Enigmatic, near-future, dystopian Noir, loaded with unanswered questions.
