Timecrimes (2007) and Primer (2004)

Published: Sept. 21, 2014, 7:34 p.m.

This is the one you've been waiting for! Elise Moore and David Fiore tackle two of the preeminent weisentimer puzzle films in the chrono canon (note: one of these puzzles comes complete with missing pieces).\xa0

\n

First up is Nacho Vigolando's\xa0Timecrimes\xa0(2007), featuring Karra Elejalde, Barbara Goenaga (tellingly cast-listed as "La Chica en el Bosque" - although we were just calling her The Cyclist), and the director himself.\xa0

\n

Then, we do our best to enter the\xa0Primer\xa0(2004)\xa0fray - battling the film, each other, and the whole internet in an effort to come up with something useful to say about director/star Shane Carruth's work of engineer outsider art.

\n

And if you're keeping score at home, please help yourselves to these fine aids to reflection upon the movie:
