Remember Me (2014)

Very touching mystery, not to be mistaken for a horror movie.

[9/10 · 21 August 2015]

I just finished watching REMEMBER ME, all three episodes in one go, and highly enjoyed it! It's a very unusual, slow, calm, touching story with some odd characteristics to it, which take some patience (especially if one might have expected some fast paced horror), but which adds to make this movie easy to remember. What I liked most about this series is that it takes usual clichés or techniques - and then turns them around. Like the way the movie is shot. It's all in quite dark, almost surreal colors, yet the story clearly takes place in our world, in everyday life. Then there are horror-ish elements in it - like Isha (the ghost) appearing, things moving and so forth - but no one runs around screaming or falling over fallen-down branches every second step. And honestly, the movie doesn't need that. It tells quite an unusual, emotional story in an unusual way. And for that it's highly recommendable! Plus: Palin makes a perfect strange old man - very well played, and very believable!
