Some weeks ago I was fortunate enough to see Death Walks, a no budget movie with twists a plenty. Then this weekend I got to see No Reasons, a movie from the same director.
No Reasons is a slow burning drama that slowly turns from being fairly normal, to un-normal, slowly all the plots merge together like fingers. It's a freaky offering from a rookie director that really starts to show what the movies creator is capable of.
So Spencer Hawken made Death Walks for nothing, then No Reasons for around £15k, which i'm told is nothing for a film; now trust me when I say this No Reasons is a polished work of art, a screwed up work of art, but still a work of art. This makes me think what on earth could this guy do with twice that amount, three times the amount, its mind boggling.
Death Walks has a style, a kind of jolly style, No Reasons has nothing like that, its like a humanized version of a Serbian Film, every bit as screwed up.
When the end credits began to roll the audience was plundered into silence, but then a lone individual let out an expletive, and shortly afterwards, a mid credits twist that will mean A LOT to those that have seen Death Walks a huge round of applause rang out.
The music is astounding, camera-work slick, performances great.
No Reasons shows that we have a new name to watch, Christopher Nolan, your cards are marked.
