No Such Thing	comment	A 2001 supernatural drama film directed by Hal Hartley that tells the story of Beatrice (played by Sarah Polley), a journalist whose fiancé is killed by a Monster (played by Robert John Burke) in Iceland. Beatrice goes on a painful journey to confront the Monster only to learn that the ancient, unkillable creature is devastatingly lonely and has no wish but to die. So begins the story of their unlikely companionship.

No Such Thing / int_677c65ea	comment	Scream Discretion Shot: In order to regain her ability to walk after the plane crash, Beatrice must undergo a painful surgery. The doctors warn her that the operation will start with her under local anesthesia, and by design the numbness will wear off before the end of the procedure in order to confirm that they've restored feeling throughout her body. But as the doctors make the first incision a bleary-eyed Beatrice jolts awake and opens her mouth to scream. The camera cuts away to the doctors observing the surgery in the gallery covering their ears and wincing while the sound of a surgical drill fades into the soundtrack.
