  • Starring: Salma Hayek
  • Summary: Mike Figgis's boldly innovative movie, using entirely improvised dialogue, simultaneously shows the audience four separate digital "movies," directing the audience's attention by manipulating the volume within the shots. The four individual movies, each shot simultaneously in 93 minutes of "real time" and synchronized by a series of earthquakes, tell the story of the casting of a bizarre movie in a Hollywood film production company.

    We become so absorbed in the ramifications of the techniques involved that a more challenging plot might have resulted in sensory overload.

    I suspect that Time Code was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch.
  3. 30
    Even with sex, drugs, hip-hop and a murder, these four stories are dull, dull, dull, dull.

    Rather strikingly unusual and daring. The most compelling scenes by far are the ones with Salma Hayak. It's an interesting experiment, it doesn't always work but I admire the effort. Expand
