will time run backwards once the universe collapses?

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2010)

this movie kept me magnetized over it's entire length - almost 2 and a half hours. it kept me amazed, smiling, frightened, wondering and curious. and it left me puzzled and satisfied at the same time. the plot's underlying idea is a rather straight forward one, the storyline(s) interestingly entangled, and the whole story in itself coherent. what amazed me so much about this movie is its structure and powerful dramaturgy, continuously leaving us with open questions, but never failing to eventually answer and explain in a later scene (while every now and then we are distracted by dream-like sequences). however, we are left in the dark about the most important and obvious question throughout the entire movie (- will we get an answer in the end?). the filming and overall visual impression are exquisite, and so is the acting. don't miss this trip!
