Dust Devil

Is Richard Stanley’s DUST DEVIL (1992, Criterion Channel) an art film with horror elements or a horror film pretending to be an art film? It’s hard to tell. The print showing on Criterion Channel is nine minutes shorter than the version released as “The Final Cut” and 18 minutes shorter than the director’s cut released in England. Stanley has said the material cut from the first act helps the film make more sense, and certainly the version I saw doesn’t hold together logically. A hunky Texan (Robert Burke) possessed by the Nhadiep, a South African serial killer, wanders Namibia looking for people who want to die, which is basically anybody who offers him a ride (hey, we were warned not to pick up hitchhikers). After killing a lonely married woman he’s seduced and a young man (there’s no footage to suggest there was a seduction there), he encounters a woman (Chelsea Field) fleeing her abusive husband (Rufus Swart), At the same time, a local police detective (Zakes Mokae) is trying to solve the murders. The film is visually and aurally compelling, with beautiful location photography by Steven Chivers and a persuasive score by Simon Boswell. It’s particularly powerful in the first sequence involving the married woman, which plays almost silently. But then people start talking, and even Mokae is saddled with dialogue that just doesn’t sound natural. The mystical narration by a local healer (John Matshikiza) seems to be treating the story as some great myth at first, but after a while it just sounds absurd, like something you’d hear in a bad folklore paper. At least Matshikiza delivers his line with some spirit. Burke, who did good work in a recurring role on LAW AND ORDER: SVU, is directed to delivers his lines in a monotone, so when he starts waxing poetic you may want to take up smoking for an excuse to step out. After a while you’re waiting for Matshikiza and Mokae to show up and bring some life to the poetry, but even they can’t bring sense to a plot that goes all over the place. And there are no rules to Burke’s supernatural character, Halfway through the film, we learn he has the power to control the elements. And he can appear and vanish freely, which makes one wonder why he has to chase Field when she tries to run away from him. There are suggestions that the film is an allegory for Namibia’s bloody battle for independence from South Africa, but with no logic to hold on to, that just seems like an empty embellishment, a garnish you’re not supposed to eat.
