Last night I saw a Mexican film called TimeCrimes. I can't recommend strongly enough that you watch it too.It's a time travel movie, but on a very small scale...I really can't give too much away.
What I will say is that this movie is incredibly engrossing...it's a thriller, but it understands the humor of its plot device and lets that shine through at the right moments. I was reminded of the first time I saw Memento while watching this. Just that feeling of sheer joy and thinking "holy crap...this is amazing...this is bonkers...somebody thought of this and now they're sharing it with me..." almost every second.
I can't tell everybody enough to watch this thing...at the very least, get it under your belt before the American remake comes out...because even if it's great I can't imagine the new director capturing the sense of fun that the original filmmaker brought to this weird, crazy, new idea.
