13 Conversations About One Thing. Alan Arkin's performance was layered and masterful. The film made merely one top ten list (the God himself Roger Ebert's #5. Gotta love a man from Champaign/Urbana).

ohmygod. i thought that was one of the most hideously boring and slow movies i'd ever seen! i was ready to applaud when it ended :) no accounting for taste eh?

this film is more of a filmmaker's film. it's structured in layers and the use of time jumps make for a challenging character structure. as far as I'm concerened, the public can have their dramatic, musically overscored twist endings like in Sixth Sense. I'll take the masterfully cine-mathematic creations such as 13 Conversations About One Thing and Memento.
