Primer

Primer is the brainchild of a Shane Carruth - a first time director, first time actor, first time screenwriter, first time producer, composer, editor - the list continues. Needless to say, this film is an incredibly admirable achievement for a debut filmmaker. What is it about? One of my favourite subjects of human science and philosophy - Time Travel.

It might be because this is an independent film, with little resources and funding, that it differs so enormously from other films within the same genre - such as Back to The Future, or Donnie Darko. Those films used Time Travel as a tool for adventurous and excitement or existentialism. Primer actually tackles its subject matter head on, and conveys a sense of realism that almost approaches a Docu-style vibe. Shane Carruth is a former engineer with a degree in mathematics, which is probably what made this film is so meticulous in its details.

Quentin Tarantino once said - "It's okay to be confused, as an audience - as long as the movie makes you feel like you're in good hands. Otherwise you'll tune out" - or something like that. Carruth handles the exponential complexity of how the use of time travel affects reality really well, which is already admirable enough to like the film.

Apparently, he's working on his follow up, currently titled "A Topiary", which is also within the confines of the Science-Fiction genre. And needless to say, I can not wait for what this guy does next.

David Sullivan, who stars in Primer, was apparently very happy about me praising the film on twitter.

When asked whether or not he'll be part of Shane Carruth's next project, another Sci-Fi based film currently titled "A Topiary", he responded once again.
