Review: TRANCE




Visionary filmmaker Danny Boyle is back with his psychological thriller "TRANCE" (probably still showing in $1 theaters).


There are movies that the casual observer will recommend as a good flick, the movie buff will use its poster as wallpaper and the "experienced critic" will value as an art film.

Boyle's films are generally like this- you kinda like them or you love them, buy the DVD, the Blu-ray, the special edition 3 discs set and even downloaded them on iTunes. "TRANCE" is no exception.

The story is about 'Simon', an art keeper who after a robbery and attack, suffers from amnesia. To get his memories back, he goes to a hypnotherapist. She will help him relive some hidden moments buried deep inside his head but at the cost of not being able to tell the difference between reality and hypnosis.

This is enough to tell you what type of film you are going to watch- a psychological thriller where reality and fantasy mesh at every turn. Its true that this type of films are more and more common, but if you are familiar with Boyle's work, you'll know he is going to deliver an above average movie.

Playing the main characters are James McAvoy (WANTED, X-MEN FIRST CLASS), Rosario Dawson (SIN CITY, UNSTOPPABLE) and Vincent Cassel (DOBERMANN, BLACK SWAN) who, as usual, did great jobs.

The editing (the film's most important aspect) is incredible; it builds suspense, uncertainty and paranoia since you have no idea what is real and what isn't.

Another film to add to your movie library. 8.8/10 Good Popcorn Fun.
