Time Beyond Time

I have a feeling that this team were trying to combine obsessive relationship into the genre that they were given. Given how difficult the competition is, I would really recommend trying to nail the genre that you get given in future. From what I could make out our Vic here followed his love but it this was somehow a metaphor for love being a race against the clock to get right? A nice oneric feeling but needed more work on the structure.

A misleading exposition about normal domestic discord suddenly descends into a surreal meditation on loss, love and the inability to take back the time you have wasted. I found myself drawn into this narrative as soon as the moody hallway scene began. Several of the images worked quite powerfully symbolically such as the glass - once it's broke, it's broke. Sound (the constant technical bugbear) was problematic in places but didn't detract overall. This is one of the more mature school efforts I've seen as it did actually achieve an art-house sensibility and aesthetic while not being overly pretentious. The narrative has a sense of closure with the final voiceover, but didn't provide any emotional catharsis at the end. I guess that, thematically, this was consistent with the film makers' objective. I've thought about this film since the screening, so that's saying something. 4/5
