mr. nobody (2009)written & directed by Jaco Van Dormael

I must apologize for not being as as i was when i first started this blog. i was really hoping to use this as a way of accounting my obscene film digestion. but i went on a bit of a binge and i just cant be arsed, and thats so lame!! - so account for some of the films ive seen. but this will change!
i am inspired!!

so back to the blogging.

i was quite dubious about watching this. i totally judged it by its cover. and i'll be honest, looking at it, it really doesnt sell itself. i walked by it thinking i passed on a film about a young boy torn between the decision of living with mom or dad in a bitter divorce, which , is not far of.

a challenging film about choice and the infinite possibilities of choice would have been a better guess, but how was i to know?

the film is geniusly made.
really!
i dont think ive had such fun watching a film where the director has literally pulled out every trick in the bag, and overdoing it, without overdoing it.

to top it off the film features an inspiring 'borrowed' score from  the likes of hans zimmer, satie, multiple renditions of the chordettes - sandman and pavane to name a few...

explaining this film in anyway would only cheapen its experience

& needless to say this film has made it way into my top 10 of all time.
