    Framing Borders

    by Patrick Brown, February 2, 2017

     

     

    The young man, we will be reassured moments before the film ends, is indeed guilty. But from this point, the film is no longer about the spectacular murder that opens it, but about the way that event is framed. In fact, frames proliferate at many levels of Touch of Evil. It is a film that takes place, after all, on a border—that between Mexico and the United States, “one of the longest borders between two countries in the world,” as Vargas pontificates to Susie [Janet Leigh] in one scene.

     

    This geo-political border is an important motif in the film. Although it is shown repeatedly to be a porous, hybridized space—the film’s opening scene illustrates this dramatically, as the camera follows a car with a ticking time bomb seamlessly through the boundary—the concept of it remains important for both the authoritarian Captain Quinlan and the liberal Vargas. Quinlan who uses an ideal “border” to justify his racism and his skirting of the law. Vargas, on the other hand, at one point utters the revealing phrase, “This isn’t the real Mexico, Susie, you know that. Borders bring out the worst in people.”
