We at FilmBuff have been in a "nonlinear" state of mind recently, probably because we just talked with director Joe Robert Cole as he selected 5 films for our guest collection (with commentary) that use alternate or nonlinear story structure—similar to the technique he himself used in his film, Amber Lake. If a story that starts from point "A" and goes straight to point "B" does not do it for you, have a look at these films that take the path less traveled. Enjoy these films hand-picked by Joe Robert Cole ...
Each time I watch Memento I discover some new detail that makes it more impressive. The idea of separate plot lines interplaying to form a total story is nothing new, but having one progress forward while the other works in reverse is genius.
