Media Review 31: Mr. Nobody

This movie popped up on Netflix a couple months ago and I decided to watch it, but we're watching it in Psychology now. This movie is about the last mortal on Earth, and it progresses through his life story as he recounts it. However, he can't remember any of the choices he made. Instead, he recounts all of his possible lives- unsure of which neighborhood girl he married, or whether he crashed his motorcycle. The film has high production value, yet it lacks cohesion and real substance. Each "life" changes visual style, and they do not fit well together. Also, the film relies heavily on music instead of sound design. It's like a compilation of montages, but the idea is still interesting. 6/10
