..watch Jessica Chastain:
Take Shelter (fothercoming; t malick recommended Chastain to 'the younger director')

Stolen lives 2009 /mm this is good ..ok maybe not in th end. maybe the presnt day jn hmm unint. but if th just a frame, the storyline is 1958 --- that story very compelling.
pervasive sense mystery, in the resonant beats, in th story even quite apart from the crime: what had happened that Pearl sad after John born, was Aunt Cora her sister and why did her husband Jonas think that Matthew shld not have married her and why is it he says ~ first two boys Mark & Luke have her blood not his ~? then, into the action of it, felt as if others conspired ~ Rose seemed to look off to the side after tryst, as if to see, was that enough time, did he get the boy? (as if in on it w Diploma.) and the police officer and strange Mike the bartender who did not want to get into trouble about a kid in the bar or Rose in the bar without her possessive husband (who Jonas to me prefigured: unexpectedly difficult men). I do not think any of this was them conspiring, rather: the feeling of that, suspicion due everywhere, an unsafe world.
and mystery, haunting, open questions simply in the movement in time, the displacement into th past. so that we hear 'talk to the Swede' and we put it together, oh Billy Burns's son said there was a Swede, that's the one worker he remembered. each connection, just of this person in the present time here is this person from back then in 1958 (Edvina, the young daughter of Cora & Jonas; then Luke, Mtthw's middle son; and only finally diploma b roggiani) feels like finding out, uncovering *disclosing unconcealmnt*, a clue that resolves.
