11 minutes (2016)
Jerzy Skolimowski's 11 Minutes interlocks the lives of over a dozen characters during a late afternoon in Warsaw. Snatches of the eleven minutes from the lives of each character are woven together using a variety of styles: cinema verite, cameras strapped to the actors, cell phone footage, CCTV surveillance footage, even a dog's point of view. Skolimowski's films often have a dour and fatalistic tone and 11 Minutes is no exception. What impressed me most was the imagination and energy the 77 year old director and writer displays here. A genuinely exciting film that clocks in at a crisp 83 minutes.
