Waiting for the Guards - the Producer's story
Executive Producer, Marc Cave: Drugstore.
It’s a spooky thing watching one man stood on a cardboard box stripped, hooded & handcuffed, while another man is just plain bored.
It’s easier to understand primal aggression. If the interrogator was beating the living daylights out of the detainee, you’d know where you were. When Al Pacino was tortured with a chainsaw in Scarface, it was sickening but familiar. We’re used to all that sadistic bad guy stuff.
When you see this kind of calm, casual brutalism, it takes away all the usual moral reference points. Good guys & bad guys; right & wrong. There’s a comfort in these absolutes. But the workaday office tedium of extracting a confession – now that’s a new one. You feel sick about the bloke on the box. But what kind of humanoid has the other bloke become?
