Abstract
This film belongs to a long tradition of 'moment of death' narratives, including Robert Enrico's 1961 adaptation of 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' ([1890] 2011) by Ambrose Bierce. The article will discuss how these narratives engage with time and mortality, and how they are compelled to return to an Edenic moment in the dying character's past.
