New excursions in narrative

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2007)

I could blather on for days about this film. So i won't. This film is amazing because: 1) Redifines narrative. This is a story told through images instead of dialogue. Otherwise it's textbook. It uses images to tell a story about images about a story about memory about which is composed of images ... ahhh!
2) Grabs clichés by the balls and makes them work. Sci-fi, PI, cop.. Noir, man v. machine... etc. it's all there. It's Shakespearian.
3) If any film in the history of filmaking should be allowed to tweak it's content over time this is it.
4) Mis-en-scene.
Done.
