The Scopia Effect (2014)
An emotional roller-coaster
I rented this film on Amazon last night and it kept me thinking all night - about life and death and how to make sense of it all. This film has a very deep emotional and spiritual (not in a religious sense!) message.
I must admit that it is challenging to watch (fast cuts etc). I hadn't heared of Chris Butler before but what he has created is simply unique. It does feel a bit like a puzzle from time to time but once you get used to the language of the film it all makes perfect sense.
The lead actress does an amazing job playing Basia loosing her mind and becoming detached from reality.
After watching this film I had a bit of a Matrix-Feeling... what is this life all about? How are things connected? Is only true what we see? The film is brutal in many ways but it ends with such a beautiful and pro-life message that it actually made me cry. Watch this film if your tired of mainstream. (9/10 stars)
