Review of Primer (2004) by Salman F — 24 Oct 2018
"Primer" is not too depth when we want to talk about philosophical things but this is a puzzle film full of theories, paradoxes, time loops, un-explanation things, linear un-linear parallel plots, and etc.
The movie is straightforward with the film itself even though at first we were quite difficult to adapt because besides you're in four nerdy and geeky characters who are talking about things you don't understand, one question that arises for me is: what is all of that? Is all the cast in this movie really understand well about the movie in addition to us as an audience? In fact, all the cast during the filming of "Rashomon" went to Kurosawa as the director and asked what the film meant.
But, what about this film? Watching "Primer" indeed reminds me of the true essence of the film and how creativity manifests and "Primer" is the primary example. It's a low budget movie but it's more scrip than that.
It's a solid movie wrapped so smartly and so complex that it's necessary to watch it again and again in order to understand it.
