Brain Damage Warning

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2012)

If you are planning on cracking open a six pack and chilling out in front of a movie with a loved one or some mates after a hard day at the office then steer well clear of this.
*Important:* if you have a partner of friend who punctuates a film with such questions as "Who's that?", "Why are they doing that?" then never watch this with them as I guarantee you will punch them within the first twenty minutes.
Be prepared to grapple with string theory, infinite realities, chaos theory and the butterfly effect.
Not put off yet? Then you are in for a treat!! This film is a master piece. The subjects are dealt with in an engaging way so they are understandable and thought provoking. The characters have such vitality and are so tangible I feel like I know them. The film is visually beautiful but uses a number of techniques to keep the viewer off balance; Worlds contrast violently, sequences are purposely disjointed, vista shots suddenly become closeups, dreams become reality. But, through the clever uses of visual aids and soundtrack, you can follow the story (even if it feels like you can't at first).
I find the film returning when I am stuck in traffic or a wind-borne leaf catches my eye.
Make a decision, stop reading and go watch.
