La 'diabolica' colpa di Edipo: da Sofocle al cinema noir.

WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN, The Guilty Vicarage. Notes on the detective story, by
an addict, «Harper's Magazine» may 1948, 406-412
Greek tragedy and the detective story have one characteristic in
common, in which they both differ from modern tragedy,
namely, the characters are not changed in or by their actions: in
Greek tragedy because their actions are fated, in the detective
story because the decisive event, the murder, has already
occurred.

λύῃ φρονοῦντι
(Soph., Oed. Rex 316 sg.)
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Indagine poliziesca per trovare l’ignoto autore un delitto
(assassino di Laio/Johnny Favorite) affidata da un elemento
soprannaturale (oracolo di Apollo/Louis Cyphre) a un detective
(Edipo/Harry Angel)
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Il detective (Edipo/Harry Angel) e il colpevole (Edipo/Johnny
Favorite) sono la stessa persona
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Il detective (Edipo/Harry Angel) non sa della sua vera identità né
dei delitti che ha commesso e che sta commettendo
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Il detective (Edipo/Harry Angel) ha sempre davanti agli occhi gli
indizi per scoprire la verità, ma non riesce o non vuole vederli
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
La sua falsa identità è la conseguenza di un abbandono
pericoloso (Edipo neonato sul Citerone/Johnny Favorite sfigurato
e smemorato a Times Square)
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Anche di fronte allo svelamento del vero (Tiresia e il
pastore/Krusemark e Louis Cyphre), il detective (Edipo/Harry
Angel) cerca di opporre la sua inutile razionalità.
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
La conclusione dell’indagine porta il detective (Edipo/Harry
Angel) a sapere chi egli è veramente (il parricida e incestuoso
figlio di Laio e Giocasta, che ha cercato di smentire l’oracolo
fuggendo da Corinto/il sanguinario e incestuoso Johnny Favorite,
che ha cercato di ingannare Lucifero uccidendo barbaramente
Harry Angel)
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Solo la consapevolezza della colpa può giustificare la punizione
liberatrice (accecamento ed esilio/discesa all’inferno)
William Hjortsberg
Falling Angel
1978
Cap. 48
"You'll burn for this, Angel."
"I'll burn in hell."
[…]
This time, the joke was on me.

Chap. 48
I was living on borrowed time and another man's memories; a
corrupt hybrid creature trying to escape the past. I should have
known it was impossible. No matter how cleverly you sneak up
on a mirror your reflection always looks you straight in the eye.

Chap. 47
I got in and pushed the button for the top floor. As the car started up,
I climbed onto the brass handrails, one foot braced against either
wall, and pushed open the emergency trap on the ceiling.
I stuck my head through the opening and looked around. Cyphre was
not on the roof of the car. Greased cables and spinning flywheels left
no place to hide. From the fourth floor, I climbed the fire stairs to the
roof. I searched behind chimneys and air vents, the blistered tar-
paper buckling underfoot. He was not on the roof.

David Mamet, On Directing Films
1997
Why does the story start now?
Why does Oedipus have to find out who his parents are?
This is a trick question.
The answer is this: he doesn't have to find out who his parents are.
He has to cure the plague on Thebes.
David Mamet, On Directing Films
1997
The study of myth is very useful for directors
