Multiple Parallel Realities

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2018)

This is a film about multiple parallel realities, so astonishingly well made that I never saw the final plot twist coming.
The main plot is two warring magicians (mirrored by the warring real life magicians Tesla and Edison).
-The secondary plot is the realities of life pretended or performed alongside with "real" life. We see the onstage performances, and the reality of the performers afterwards.
The consequence of which is -multiple existence of beings, although they don't come right out and say "clones".
The narrative is unrolled backwards and forwards in bits, recounted in part by two overlapping diaries, each one a ruse.
The handheld camerawork is the best thing about the movie. The almost imperceptible movements, suggesting that the audience is unmentioned character, always there lurking about. It haunts me. I rematch this movie just for the camerawork sometimes.
