Featured review
Nervous breakdowns, infidelity, alcoholism, drug use, and earthquakes - just your average at Red Mullet productions.
Red Mullet Inc. is a small independent production company with both a bright future and a host of problems. While the company founder is one of the best schmoozers in the business, he also happens to be a philandering alcoholic, on the verge of a breakdown. Also, while they have a breakthrough film on the go, the producers just fired the entire cast, and the director can't find the lead. Finally, while they have managed to attract one of the best up- and-coming actresses around, she will only work if she can bring her hip-hop socialist music maker. There's also the little matter of the earthquake
Filmed in four continuous takes, with bouncing cameras, a barebones script and largely improvised dialogue, Time Code is the Blair Witch Project for 2000. Code also boasts a diverse, well known cast (shades of The Player), and a Pulp Fiction style interwoven plot. Its most striking feature however is how the film is displayed: the screen is split into four sections, each with its own unique point of view, dialogue and action. While the sound tends to follow the pivotal action, fading from quadrant to quadrant, it is ultimately up to the viewer to decide what they want to watch and get out of the film.
Although some viewers will undoubtedly find the film disorienting, and hard to follow, it is undeniably engaging, innovative and dare I say it, groundbreaking. There will undoubtedly be many second rate copycats in the coming months so see this film while it's still fresh.
