Cinema History

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2013)

As anticipated from the 10 this is the history of cinema and also storytelling history as a whole. The film is smooth: it's a standard drama/thriller. But the "memento" editing dynamic is so unique it will always be part of cinema history. It's unique: don't even try to redo it; it's a one shot jackpot. Watch it if you'd like to discover masterpieces and if you feel you need something new: it will blow your mind. Don't watch it on a tired Friday night when your spare intelligence asks for something like American Pie or Die Hard: you will probably end up registering an account on IMDb and give it a 5... There's an edited version online where timing follows standard experience: you see it and it sounds just as your average flick (6-6.5 for my tastes). Watch this just after some "original" views and only if you really need to capture some details you're not able to follow up with the standard installment.
