Movie No. 68 (2017): 11 MINUTES
11 Minutes (2015)
Director: Jerzy Skolimowski
Cast: Richard Dormer, Paulina Chapko, Wojciech Mecwaldowski
In Polish, with English subtitles
The movie weaves several stories of totally unrelated people which happen in 11 minutes. The movie's running time, however, is stretched to approximately 80 minutes. Of course, it's quite acceptable that simultaneous stories can't be fit in the same frame at the same time. It needs masterful editing. The movie does just that, resulting in a smoothly flowing narrative.

This is a kind of movie which, in my opinion, doesn't need thorough characterization. Actually, I don;t care about the characters. I care more about the achievement of this kind of 'experimental' story-telling.
