Worth numerous viewings

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2004)

I watched this right after I woke up so I was still in a trance. This turned out to be one of the most intriguing films I have seen in a while. It kind of reminded me of a good Twilight Zone episode. You pretty much figure out the guy has a memory problem. That's a main vehicle in the plot line. But here you have the added plus of experiencing the sensation because the film is edited in such a way as to disorient you. And yet, you don't really lose track of what is going on. (I don't think)
There isn't much action here. Very low key in most respects. This is just a real good mystery that doesn't really resolve itself. (I don't think) But this isn't disappointing. Lots of twists keeps you off balance and then - it's over.
I liked it so much I arranged to watch it again that same evening. Even though you know what's going to happen you begin to pickup an amazing amount of information that you missed the first time. This only made it better the second time. I'll see it a few more times - then maybe I'll catch everything.
The acting is convincing. The background music is adequate and unobtrusive.
Bottomline: Yeah, it's slow, but I think it's very well-written and put together. Every film student should see this. I give it an 8.
