Narration is not uncommon
in movies
Matthew Broderick spoke di
rad I y to tile audience in h'erris
Mueller's Day Off and Bruce
Willis gave a new meaning to
baby-talk in Look Who's Talk
inn
But there is one significant
difference between those films
and Reversal of fortune The
narrator was not in a coma.
Reversal is about the strands
case of Ulaus V'on iiiitow, who
vv.is convicted of the attempted
murder of ft is wife Sunny, up
pealed the decision and was
later found not guilty. The
weapon was insulin injections
and the motive was money.
The movie begins with a
breathtaking sweep of beautiful
white mansions set on plush
green hills
Next we come face to face
with Sunny (Oleun Close) lying
in a coma inside a cold blue
hospital room From her coma.
Sunny tells us. "This was my
body I never woke from this
moment and I never will
Reversals is based on the ac
counts of Harvard law professor
Alan Dershowitz. Unlike law
yers who take cases because
they need to make money. Alan
(Ron Silver) takes cases when
he gets "pissed-off." The first
trial was conducted under evi
dence collected by a private in
vestigator
All the evidence is against
Claus, a wealthy aristocrat who
always kept his poise and never
revealed any emotions except
for a wry sense of humor,
which includes telling insulin
jokes That demonstrates two
things: Claus was either a pa
tient. humorous man or he was
the devil in disguise His hol
low eyes, skeleton-like face and
docile personality revealed
nothing and concealed every
thing.
Reversal of Fortune allows
the viewer to solve the mystery
as it unfolds "This is .all you
< an know, all you < an he told
So just sit back, relax and solve
it. if you can As Sunny men
tioned in her coma. "You tell
me" what really happened
