Devils Teeth 2013

 




Big oil, small town, global warming, government corruption. The islands off San Francisco are called Devils Teeth. They are home to great white sharks and a disputed oil drilling site. This film speculates on an unsolved mystery: a brother and sister's pursuit of truth into their mothers death, the transfer of the mother's land to a corporation, and their investigator's disappearance. Kristina Barvels, investigator. Ignacio Palma, man. Alexa Oliva, sister. Anthony, bodyguard. Susanne Hafenscher, Matthias Boss, Marcello Magliocchi, Music for a Quiet Night. Freedom Of Paper says, "That is a fierce score, and a hard watch: a simple story hidden in stylish visuals with a deafening sonic ‘element’. It feels like a music video, the kind of thing people ought to watch but which will probably be ignored. I only comment because I watched it three times, which seems necessary."
