A dense and highly interesting production about the human mind. 'Surge' follows the life of Joseph (Ben Whishaw), a man who works in an airport security team. Gradually, we follow his transformation that fits with the direction the plot takes. Director Aneil Karda manages to convey that the protagonist is clearly unbalanced through the filming that can cause some discomfort and works as one of the characters of the story. In fact, Ben Whishaw's performance is one of the highlights of the movie.
Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. An intense movie, about a girl pressured by her mother, by her own expectations and by the director, leading her to insanity. Natalie Portman is in an impeccable performance, enhanced by a powerful atmosphere created by Darren Aronofsky's direction. It was indeed deserved the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Actress that Natalie received.
Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. Before the The Dark Knight trilogy, The Prestige, and Oppenheimer, English director Christopher Nolan shook up cinema with this ingenious puzzle. Guy Pearce plays a man suffering from recent memory loss and yet still trying to uncover his wife's murderer. The revolution is in the way the story is told: backward, demanding double attention from the viewer.
