Strangely similar to Winter sleepers from Tom Tykwer

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2015)

This screenplay is quite similar to the novel from Anne-Françoise Pyszora, which was filmed by Tom Tykwer in 1997. I actually preferred this movie which was set in an Alpine winter scenery. The main plot is quite similar, if not exactly the same. I wonder whether the screenplay by Nolan has not been taken from Pyszora's novel. If so I would consider this information to be absolutely necessary, otherwise one could draw the conclusion that this movie is a case of plagiarism. The plot is quite witty and original, something that is rather uncommon these days in newer films. What is quite remarkable is its non-linearity and the fact that the audience is challenged and required to participate in finding out what the outcome will be. Whoever likes this film will also enjoy Winter sleepers.
