I'm shocked that when you talked about the "Before The Devil Knows You're dead" style of nonlinear stories, you never mentioned my personal favourite, Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train. Three separate stories of foreigners, all in Memphis for their own separate reasons, are connected by an old hotel, Elvis Presley, and a late night radio DJ.

The podcast cut out on me so I don't know if you had a chance to comment on these, but I would think Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs would have been a better choice for the podcast.

Not only is it a non-linear story, but from a narrative perspective Reservoir Dogs features an event that drives both sides of the story that is never seen. The fact that this "heist movie" stands on it's own without every seeing the heist is an impressive achievement.

The second story is one from the Vantage Point category, De Palma's Snake Eyes. Far from a quality film, this movie's use of multiple perspectives however, moves the mystery forward to it's fun, if ridiculous conclusion involving a hurricane and wet cement.

"THE QUIET ARRANGEMENT" is an indie film that does the same sort of thing. same period of time from diffrent perspectives

What about Tarkovsky's Mirror? If anything that films challenged "chronology".

The Girlfriend Experinece was straightforward.
