A distressed man has been trying endlessly to squash a bug that's bothering him. This chase continues till we find out that the bug is a tinier version of himself. When he kills it, a larger version of the man kills him in turn.
Christopher Nolan's effort doesn't amount to a brilliant shot in the sense that it's obvious (and Christopher isn't to blame) that the maverick had made this just to experiment with camera, lighting, sound and special effects. But it is indicative of the themes he has brought to his feature film: insanity, narcissism, never-ending cycle and twist endings. Also, Christopher's command over the camera is noteworthy – look how the camera shifts slightly while the character is in view to reveal a clue or an object. It would be rather futile to over-analyze this work because it is what it is; the first thing that you understand is what it is.
My Rating: 6.5 out of 10
