Timecode (2000)
Written and directed
by Mike Figgis this film has a large cast including Salma Hayek,
Stellan Staksgard, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Saffron Burrows. Four
continuous 90 minute takes, shot simultaneously are presented at the
same time to tell the a story at an LA film production company.
This may be an
experimental film but there is much to be impressed with here in the
staging, filming and acting of this film which must have been some
effort in logistics. Unfortunately all the hard work is for little as
the final product is confusing and plenty of the story ends up being
lost in the execution. It is hard to decide where I stand on this
film as it is as impressively made as it is disappointing in it's
final form.
2/5
