TC Candler's Review

B+

Eyeball Workout...

Four films consecutively... but all one film. The screen is divided into four quadrants and the sound will lead your eyes to the action. It works surprisingly well and results in a very good drama. Oh, and the film (all four of them) is shot in real time!!! This is inspired and original filmmaking from the director of 'Leaving Las Vegas'.

Richard Propes' Comment

"Time Code" doesn't work nearly as often as Figgis' wonderfully experimental "Loss of Sexual Innocence," yet it's a film that is almost impossible to dismiss. It's innovative, bold and edgy during a time when innovative, edgy, and daring filmmaking is taboo. The film encircles four stories of adultery told from a variety of angles. A stellar cast keeps the film constantly interesting and accessible, though the film does play a tad inconsistent and the "edgy" experimentation doesn't always work. I still love Figgis, and I love his willingness to go out on a ledge in the name of great filmmaking.
