Otherlife
Ren Amari designs a "biological" program that allows the user to compress time and virtually undertake all these extreme adventures like snowboarding in the Alps, going underwater diving etc. A year can be compressed into 1 minute.
She's basically doing this to be able to help her brother come out of a coma...the diving program is based on his accident.
Her partner Sam seems to be planning things behind her back along with her colleague Byron. Sam has been conducting secret negotiations with a govt (This is an Australian movie) corrections deptt that hopes to use the program for confinement of convicts. Her lover Danny dies after an accidental overdose of the chemical that's used to trigger the "biological" program....And Ren Amari is given a choice to undergo the 365 days in a minute confinement program. So what happens next?
10/10 for this movie. I loved it so much...it has so many..So many layers. Apart from the thrilling premise...the editing is such that its like altered reality...like a supposed side effect of the program is mentioned.......It's like we as viewers too are taking part in the program.....we experience loss of space and time....the editing is tgat good even tho the first 20 minutes are a bit of a slow burn...And in 1 scene..Ren steals a jacket with a DMT logo in the front....hahaaa....This movie is like a DMT trip...oh I loved it so much...And then the oft repeated line....memories are but chemicals...And the questions of choice and creating our reality...And lucid dreaming...i suggest everyone to watch this amazing movie.
