Mr. Nobody Review

The chaos theory, the butterfly effect and the domino effect, no matter what you call it, they have and shall continue to excite the human mind due to their complexities and the fact that how the tiniest of actions can bring forth huge repercussions. Mr. Nobody deals with the very same complexities. Just sit back and let Jaco Van Dormael play around with your mind for an hour and a half. Nothing is real, and everything is possible in this world. The concept of parallel universes has never been dealt with such detail and perfection. The story starts off in a distant utopian future where Nemo Nobody is the last mortal man as the entire human race has unlocked the secrets to immortality. The protagonist suffers from advanced stages of the Alzheimer's disease and is struggling to hold on to the last of his memories. And thus begins a roller coaster ride as a reporter tries to unravel the mysteries of Nemo's life which no one seems to remember either. This film is a philosophical and cinematographic marvel. The non linear narrative style has been utilized very efficiently and not for a single moment do you feel bored. You can't just watch this film, you have to live it.
