In prep for Looper this weekend, I watched Primer again.
Damn man, this film frazzles my brain. Its ten times as mind-bending as Inception and I have to admit, third time around, I'm still not sure I got it all. But its a masterful script - the only legitimate gripe I have with it is the early portions of the voiceover are a little heavy-handed. Its a totally creepy premise treated absolutely believably. I hope Carruth finally gets his follow-up - Upstream Color - off the ground soon, as we need more minds like his making challenging films.
