| description | King and Country (Losey, 1964) recounts how a man’s ambivalent attitude was reduced to that of a courageous combatant who had been convicted of desertion in the First World War. Thus law and justice were used by the British government in order to eradicate desertion from national history. But the past does not pass: the film reveals the relationship between the denied memory and the story told from the point of view of the winners. The historiographical fiction, evoking a disinherited person from the dominant history, exposes the mechanisms of official history and orchestrates opposite memories. The monumental sign (of national history) is torn by the interstitial trace (of individual memory). Evoking the memory of a man rehabilitates a group by pointing out the blind points of history. |
