An excellent directorial debut by Hans Canosa… A director’s movie, good acting, scripting... And all those of you who aspire to make a movie some day, make sure you see the special features in the DVD.
Its a two character movie which as the name suggests is just a dialogue between them. The movie starts with Aaron Eckhart trying to ‘hit on’ Helena Bonham Carter at his sister’s wedding. Their harmless flirting makes you feel like it is a lonely guy and a girl away from home (she lives in UK but is in the US for the wedding) talking before they head back to a common hotel room. It’s a lot of honest discussion and heart opening talk between them which continues till the hotel room and then suddenly there is a twist in the story – I would not want to narrate it coz it will spoil it for anyone wanting to see the movie.
The movie use a unique technology - something I haven't seen before. The use of two screens thru out the movie helps the director achieve a lot of detail - to show each of the characters and their expressions at the same time, show the real world and virtual, show what the character is actually saying and thinking at the same time, past and the present...
Overall a must see for cinema lovers like me :)
