Interrogation techniques and the role it plays in cinema

I have began my research in the area of interrogation. Since, this being the plot theme of my film, i have started to study the classic interrogation scenes of films. So far i have taken in The usual suspects and the classic scene in Marathon Man starring Dustin Hoffman. While searching the web I came across the film title "The Interview". This is an Australian film that is centred entirley  around an interrogation, this being the case it could possibly be a great source of inspiration .


While researching the topic of interrogation in the real world i found an article written by a former detective from Nepal. he states "Interrogation is a kind of psychological warfare between interrogator and suspect. Only when an interrogator overpowers a suspect psychologically, he gets a confession or the fact of a case which is not possible otherwise." Narayan Chand Thakur


He goes on to explain the techniques involved in suspect interrogation and the do's and dont's of the art. A very interesting yet brief article that acts like a beginners guide to interrogation.
