I'd rather forget

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2001)

The basic story of this film seems straightforward enough; a man is attempting to avenge the murder of his wife despite being unable to recall any subsequent events. However, instead of presenting the events in sequence, the makers of this film present them as snippets, in random and sometimes repetitious sequence, a bit like playing the tracks of a CD in random, rather than sequential order. The result, to me, was just too self-consciously clever, and also, simply incredibly boring. I found myself wondering more than once if I should simply walk out of the theatre and put myself out of my misery.
I know many people who have seen the film found it fascinating, challenging, and the like, but I simply feel that the emperor is not wearing any clothes.
