Primer – 2004, Shane Carruth
Very clever Sci-Fi film made for $7,000. An excellent example of what you can do with a little money and a lot of imagination/hard work/a degree in mathematics. Basically it’s about a dude who invents a time machine, so naturally it all goes wrong and gets very hard to follow. Definitely the type of film you’d want to read about on Wikipedia afterwards.
It’s full of techy guys mumbling about physics, and if you stop listening at the wrong moment, you’ll lose track of what’s going on sooner than if you’d been listening intently, but you’ll lose track either way.
That may not sound like much of an endorsement, but I would recommend Primer to anyone who likes a film they have to pay attention to. If you liked ‘Brick’ you’ll like Primer.
