Trance

Great, stylish movie but it gets very complicated near the end. I think I understood what was going on but I probably won't be sure about plot holes until I see it again.

Some interesting tidbits:
Throughout the film there is a pink neon sign with "Analog" in large letters and "London" tucked in at the bottom. It's an analog (something analogous or similar) to the Analog Sound System company logo which is in the same style only it's in b&w and with "sound system" in place of "London" (which is a British company found at soundcloud.com.)

There's a colored up photo of David Bowie, holding his finger up to his mouth for quiet, associated with the companies recent remix of a David Bowie song "Let's Dance". The photo looks similar (analogous?) to the "Trance" movie poster with James McAvoy receiving a similar but digital color treatment, and he's yelling. The song "Let's Dance} is not in the credits for the film. The song "Chanson D'Amour", Song of Love, is used to good effect to signal that it's a love story as well--just not your typical rom-com.

David Bowie released his first studio album in 10 years in March this year just before the film was released. The title of the album is "The Next Day". Moby did an excellent, well placed track in the movie titled "The Day".

For what it's worth, it ain't "Inception" but still, there's more than just superficial stuff going on. We'll see if it means anything worthwhile or not. Provisional 8/10 (subject to revision)
