Landscape Suicide (1986)
James Benning · 95m · 16mm

Landscape Suicide gazes upon the snow-covered banks and manicured suburban streets of American murder. The quiet mundanity of hostility situated in everyday expanses is examined through stationary landscape, voice-over, and reenactments of the cross-examinations of 1950s serial killer Ed Gein of Wisconsin and California teenager Bernadette Protti, who stabbed a friend to death in 1984.
