Film #56: CLOUD ATLAS (2012)

This was a strange sci-fi film with a very complex narrative. It's one that definitely requires a lot of thinking and is not a film that you can watch lightly. The wonderful thing about this film is that there's not a lot of actors in the film but each actor plays numerous characters, Hugh Grant and Tom Hanks play six characters at least each. But the talents of the make-up and costume departments were so fantastic that it took me most of the film to actually realise that and figure it out, as well as a quick Google. I thought this film was very exciting to watch but it did require some concentration in order to follow the narrative.
