Memento directed by Takeshi Kitano's fan on a very low budget

That's roughly sums this up, although many other influences from Italian neorealism and French new wave can be found here as well. Not a bad debut, but the movie sometimes is too boring and with long shots of absolutely nothing happens on the screen. Still the effect is a little hypnotizing and interesting, if you are into films directed by fresh film school graduates, but also a little pointless if you put it in perspective of current world cinema. Watch the director, though.
The only big problem that I had was the terrible sound work. I speak Russian and I didn't understand half of the dialogs. The main character and almost all others are mumbling something under their noses and I couldn't understand a word.
