![]() ![]() Sometimes that means we are looking at the real Brosnan, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes we see Brosnan from the outside. Sometimes we see Down and then we get a point-of-view shot that is supposed to be inside her head but looking out through Brosnan's eyes. It is also very confusing for the audience, because the movie keeps switching signals on us. This grows very confusing for Brosnan's wife (Anna-Maria Moneticelli), who does not understand why Down is telling her things only Brosnan would know. "Nomads" is a very confused movie, especially after the berserk Brosnan leaps out of his manacles and bites Lesley-Anne Down on the neck, transferring all of his memories into her head, so that she goes crazy and relives all of Brosnan's traumatic experiences with the Innuat. But it has at least as much to do with "Nomads" as the ancient Eskimo myth of the Innuat. Now you may argue, not unreasonably, that my story has little to do with "Nomads." True. The only word he could read was "Eskimo." He had heard that there was a great new Eskimo film in the festival, however, and so at midnight he went bravely out into the rainy night and got a cab and went to the address on the invitation, only to discover that he was a guest at the opening of an Eskimo Pie ice cream store. That reminds me of a classic story from the Cannes Film Festival a few years back, when Rex Reed got an engraved invitation in French. This translates as, "They are not there they are Innuat." But nobody can figure that out, because they don't know "Innuat" is an Eskimo word, you see, and they simply think his French is bad. He keeps screaming the same phrase in French: N'y sont pas sont des Innuat. Everybody thinks he's on a bad drug trip, but no, it's simpler than that he has gone stark raving mad. A de-ranged patient (Brosnan) is brought in and handcuffed to the bed. The movie starts with Lesley-Anne Down as an emergency-room doctor. The hard part is what we have to slog through before we find out about Innuats. That is not the complicated part of the plot. According to Eskimo legends, they are nomadic spirits who wander the Earth in human form, spreading evil. ![]()
