Review of Doodlebug

Doodlebug (1997)
9/10
Obsessive, paranoid, itching in my brain, there it is, no there it is, no here you are

Christopher Nolan's first short film "Doodlebug" is a subtle masterpiece. Probably the first conception of inception, a reality in a reality in a reality in a never ending cycle. Filmed in black and white with the perfect scenario, music and constant noises like ticking clocks that give a strong sense of paranoia and insanity.

Perhaps there is a philosophical point to the film in which the doodlebug is his own God, ending his life again and again all through eternity in a parallel reality.

Well done Mr. Nolan. It is a very good way to start a film career, something to be proud of.
