Earthquake experiment How difficult it is to evaluate, and even more so to review a film with an innovative view, where most of the creator (most often he is in a single copy) of the film is working on an experiment to show his author's style and show the language to simple feature films.
Time Code was directed by Mike Figgis, who was also a screenwriter. The whole film was shot with static video cameras without editing, that is, everything that we will observe is in real time.
What else could that mean? What the actors had to improvise on camera, but who wouldn’t want to improvise? Many tapes, which became very, very popular, were not alienated from improvisation. In "Time Code" we see continuous improvisation, which, not surprisingly, was very high. The actors seem to be on the one hand trained professionals who know how to behave in a particular situation, and on the other - they showed themselves absolutely ignorant people, playing "episodes from life."
It was difficult to focus on one of the four screens on which the shared video was broken, but thanks to the translation, you find the most important moments in what is happening. The initial confusion suddenly turns into a multi-layered drama, where everyone has their own important place.
One of the best experiments in cinema that I have seen, although I confess that I was able to see it completely only for the second time.
