Red Squirrel
(Medem 93)
An early film from Spanish director Julio Medem (Lovers of the Arctic
Circle, Sex and Lucia) Red Squirrel tells the story of Jota, a failed
musician whose girlfriend has recently left him, who is about to commit
suicide by jumping off a bridge when a girl on a motorcycle crashes off it.
He discovers she has lost her memory, even forgetting her name. After
telling the paramedics and staff at the hospital that she is his girlfriend,
he later tells her the same. He invents an entire identity for her, giving
her the name Lisa and a history of their relationship according to his own
fantasies. He then takes her out of the hospital and away on a trip to the
'Red Squirrel' campsite. But her psychotic ex-boyfriend Felix is not far
behind...
Tonight's film will be introduced by Jo Evans, lecturer at University
College London, and author of Julio Medem (Grant and Cutler, 2007). Daniel
Frampton is the founding editor of the salon-journal Film-Philosophy (est.
1996), and the author of Filmosophy (Wallflower Press, 2006).
