ala David Lynch

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2002)

This is an exceptional film. Christopher Nolan has created an atmospheric film in much the manner of David Lynch, using images, lighting and color to shift the perception of the viewer. He also uses another Lynch tool - time shifting - though to a much greater degree. The initial viewing of this film might be difficult or even uncomfortable for many. It takes viewing a few sequences to get the gist of the overlapping, regressive flashbacks used to piece the story together. Be prepared to watch this movie very intently. Get your popcorn and pop ready before the movie starts. And plan on a second viewing!
