Research & Planning: Over (2015)
Over (2015)
What I liked/disliked...
I really enjoyed this film. It is in the style I would really want films of my own to be made. The complete absence of dialogue added a brilliant dash of mystery to it. The occasional cuts to the victim's items built the tension really well. Most importantly and unavoidably the coolest part was the backwards storytelling; whilst not the first of its kind, this film adopts it in a way that makes it so much more interesting (whilst the true story in itself is interesting, if all the shots were placed chronologically the film would be beyond boring).
I can't determine anything I specifically dislike about the film.
Aspects of Narrative
This film is the definition of 'subverting narrative style' and that's probably its main aspect. There is still a complication, in that we understand there has been a death, and are expect at the end to understand what happened. There is a resolution at the end, in that the spectator finds out where the body came from.
Genre
This is more difficult, as the film is based on a real life event. A guess would be that this is a drama, although there is no character development.
