Deleted Scene!

Alejandro Adams's picture

Those who have seen Canary may be amused by the scene description I discovered in a notebook today.

Shot from inside car, couple arguing in driver and passenger seat, stop at red light, Canary agent in median scanning each car that stops. Agent scans driver, scanner buzzes (non-compliance). Agent pulls the man from car, woman nonchalantly moves into driver's seat.

Clearly the concept evolved during pre-production.

Sounds like maybe

Sounds like maybe schwarzenegger made that film.

"This second feature by Alejandro Adams confirms him as an arresting talent. [Viewers] may be fascinated to the point of repeat viewings to sort out its myriad characters and half-buried clues."
-- Dennis Harvey, Variety


"Micro in budget, macro in ambition, accomplishment, and scope, Adams's slyly withholding film prompts multiple viewings--and deserves them."
-- Jim Ridley, Village Voice


"Wildly ambitious...an overwhelming and surprisingly fresh-feeling sense of dystopian dread."
-- Karina Longworth, Spout


"[CANARY is] terrific...very creepy and uncanny. It's quite an achievement."
-- Phillip Lopate


"Mysterious, elliptical, Bresson-like. [CANARY] is to biotech what PRIMER was to time-travel."
-- Richard von Busack, Metro
