This epic, interwoven adventure tells not one, not two, but six stories across time. Past lives, past loves, past loss. It's all connected. It's seriously the most epic film I've seen since The Fountain. Alas, Cloud Atlas didn't touch me in the same way, but I appreciate everything the Wachowski's, Tykwer and the actors did to realize this on screen. Unfortunately, given it's scope and very intellectual overriding motives, I doubt it will do well in mainstream American theaters. I want to see more films like this made, even if this wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
Cloud Atlas
2012, 164 minutes, directed by Tom Tykwer, Lana Wakowski, and Andy Wakowski
