The Ortolan Game
a screenplay by Alan Black
The Ortolan Game plays with ideas of family.
A taut drama (one that plays out in ways not unlike a Greek tragedy)
in which a kidnapping may or may not be real,
with tones of a grim Fargo and a family-bound Reservoir Dogs.
Just what will be done in the name of family—or in the name of self-profit—
comes out in heart-sickening detail.
