Clandestine – Justin Doherty
Clandestine (2006)
It is said that the soul leaves the body through the back of the neck, naturally, in death. And that it cannot leave, or be taken, until this time.
Clandestine, both a homage to French crime thrillers of the 1960s and a contemporary mystery, follows an ageing thief, a soul stealer, contemplating his history before a late-night heist on a house. All set to the haunting sounds of Sigur Ros and the cool beats of Do Make Say Think.
