Starring Dennis Haysbert and Michael Harris, the story follows the wealthy Vincent, who meets his blue-collar half-brother Clay at their father’s funeral and is struck by their similarity. He decides to murder Clay and take his identity, only Clay survives the assassination attempt with no memory and is mistaken for Vincent. Oh, one thing: Harris is white and Haysbert is black, making this tale about the nature of identity even more tricky, and in the clip below, you can get a sense of film’s unique design which helped it win Best Cinematography at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994.
“Suture” is on Blu-ray today and comes loaded with extras including interviews with the directors, Haysbert, and Soderbergh, Siegel and McGehee’s debut short film “Birds Past,” and much more.
