Stir of Echoes. For the third time. I still couldn't remember what happened.
First time I was definitely drunk or stined. In fact I must have fallen asleep about 10 minutes in, because the second time it was all new to me. And it confused me enormously, because I think I had it mixed up with at least two other films, one of which was Momento. I kept waiting for things to happen which didn't.
So when I saw it again on late night TV I Sky+d it as it didn't have subtitles. Can't watch a film without them if the 'rents are in bed, I miss half the dialogue.
Anyway, it turns out it was better than I remembered. Not quite as pedestrian. So that was a plus. Not amazing, and in 5 years time I might rewatch it without quite knowing how it ends again.
I Sky+ some complete crap late at night.
A few minutes in, I realise there are no subtitles and hit Record.
The next day I am staggered by the inanity of the script and the dire acting. Delete!
Sets and costumes are usually good though. That's where the money goes I guess. Shocking.
