Last month I had met a Time loop Sci-fi fanatic who has been following crazy mindbenders from the 90's and recommended the Spanish film Timecrimes & Possible Worlds. Her review about the latter flick went over an hour's time- to sum it up she called it art house hell and incredibly slow and boring. I wanted to share my thoughts on this overlooked gem from the genre which is not for all tastes. I know this came out in the 2000s and the 90s tone kinda got lumped in here. Tom McCamus & Tilda Swinton have never been better than they are here, disjointed, pleasant and utterly believable as they make their way through this labyrinthine. The film is directed by Robert Lepage and it is arguably his best little-known film till date. This film has so many meanings; it would be exhausting to write even half. People, especially the detractors of the film, should give up on saying that there is nothing and merely a pretentious lo-fi version of Kieslowski's Blind Chance. Don't buy it, if you want to see a film that gets the spirit of the arthouse in a sci-fi, this is a fine example. Overall, an ingenious film-making that inscribe brains over spectacle with some captivating and strong performances.
