Cloud Atlas (2012)
Directed by the
Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer this adaptation of the novel of the same
name stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess and Jim Broadbent.
Six stories spread over six hundred years chart the interconnection
of life and humanity.
Generally this film is
impressive all round, managing to get the complicated narrative
structure onto the screen in a way that makes sense is no small feat.
The idea of life being interconnected and the most important things
being who we spend our time with are not especially new ideas but
they add depth to the story here and are handed well. The film is
well made blending different genres admirably and there are some nice
Easter eggs buried through out.
5/5
