Scrambled Timelines
How films mix-up their chronology to give more impact to their story.
Shuffling around a story’s timeline can make an ordinary tale profound, a potentially exploitative scene moral, a troubling event less so. This week on the IFC News podcast, we look at films that have scrambled their own chronology, from Gaspar Noé’s infamous “Irréversible” to this week’s new release “(500) Days of Summer.”
