Review of Syndromes and a Century (2006) by Anonymous User — 18 Oct 2009
Evocative and wonderfully elliptical. Manages to seduce through a series of engaging, carefully orchestrated scenes before structurally folding in on itself. The formalism of the films two-part structure is a blindingly obvious device to express the films ruminations on memory and cinema, but it's achieved with such self-assuredness that it doesn't inhibit the film.
It succeeds in achieving what it sets out to do, and quite brilliantly limns the vaguely autobiographical elements to create an end result that straddles the line between art house film and video art perfectly.
