When I spoke with actor Cillian Murphy and writer/director Rodrigo Cortes about their film, RED LIGHTS, on June 19, 2012, the challenge was not to give too much away about what tranpires in the film, but still discuss the way it teases the audience about the limits and pitfalls of human perception. Murphy, an actor who rarely repeats himself, and Cortes, whose previous film, BURIED, proved that a film set entirely in a box buried under several feet of dirt can be a thriller of the first order, were properly circumspect, and the conversation proved a throughtful consideration of why audiences enjoy being fooled, and why they don't like changing their minds.
