Rebecca H. (Return to the Dogs) -- Film Review

CANNES -- The American independent/experimental filmmaker Lodge Kerrigan is nothing if not artistically gutsy. Ever since his first, superb film in 1994 -- a chillingly intense portrait of a schizophrenic called "Clean, Shaven" -- he has been boldly going where no filmmaker has gone before. "Claire Dolan" (1998) was leaden and impenetrable, as was "Keane," which came out in 2004, though once you found out that the endlessly followed lead character in "Keane" was frantic because he was searching for his lost daughter, the film dramatically improved, in both senses of the phrase.
