Film description
Los Angeles, a production studio, one hour and a half of real time. One woman leaves another woman, a director has problems with his wife and his lover; there's a therapy going on somewhere, and a casting somewhere else. Passion in reality and in film are shown together in intertwining parallel stories shown on the screen divided into four equal parts. The common point of the stories is an earthquake, present in all of them. Timecode is one of the first so bold and full-scale applications of poli-vision in a Hollywood feature film with real stars. The audience's perception is guided by sound recorded on four tracks, respectively louder or quieter according to the director's plans. This is not the end of restrictions - there is also a real time concept, skilfully carried out in parallel and vertical editing. At first glance, the film seems like rodeo on four bulls at a time...Only later you come to ask: what for? It appears that Figgis, of course, enjoys his experiments, but he also makes a comment on actual realism in cinema. Jan Topolski
