Review of Timecode (2000) by David K — 11 Nov 2009
What a bore. "Timecode" is interesting for the first 10 minutes because the film acts as a new way to experience a story. It's also interesting for 5 minutes near the end when an artist pitches her idea for a film that is not unlike the exact description of "Timecode" itself. In it, she spouts off perplexing theoretical comments on the advent of digital video into the cinematic realm. But really, that time is only intriguing to a small few who actually find that subject matter worthwhile. So for the other hour and 18 minutes?
It's awful. A truly narrative failure in cinema, captured all in real time on digital video.
