Movie Review
Besieged
by Crissa-Jean Chappell
The woman stares. "Get my husband out of jail."
In the opening sequence of Bernardo Bertolucci's latest opus, "Besieged," a band of African military police abduct a schoolteacher from his classroom. As he speeds away, his wife watches in horror. She opens her mouth and makes no noise, as if sound could express what she feels.
