Brilliant Movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2012)

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I have heard it compared to Last Year at Marienbad but other than both movies being a study in memory, the two really aren't similar. I highly recommend this movie.
I find it hard to review movies that I love. The movie tells a rather simple story. What is brilliant here is how it tells that story. Part of the story is told backwards but the brilliance isn't just that goes backwards. Each scene tells you something new about the story that leads you to think one thing. Then you get to see the scene that came before and find you learn your previous assumption was wrong. This constant misdirection actually makes the movie so interesting and intriguing to watch. It is just a wonderful cinematic experience.
