MOVIE REVIEW
Timecrimes (2008)
Magnet Releasing
“Timecrimes” can in the strictest sense be considered a work of science fiction, as its story gets wrapped up in the complications and paradoxes of time travel. However, writer-director Nacho Vigalongo’s interests skew less towards working within the constraints of any particular genre and more towards playing with narrative form itself. This is a movie, like “Run Lola Run,” that’s primarily about the filmmaking process, particular the ability of the director and screenwriter to play god, confounding expectations and rewriting the rules within the universe they’ve created.
