Such a great film. Been a while too so good to catch up.

We have a series of slightly overlapping scenes, ordered backwards and a single sequence that creates the beginning, shot in black and white, split between the backwards scenes until they meet up at the end. And some flashbacks too. And yet it's all pretty straight forward to comprehend. Probably what gave Christopher Nolan the ambition to do something like Inception. Should probably get around to watching that again too.

Guy Pearce is great, I really like Carrie-Anne Moss in this role and even though her time is brief Jorja Fox gives a heartbreaking performance.

Beyond being a great concept this is a fantastically crafted script, translated into a fantastic film. It's a different headspace it pulls you into. A classic.
