Plot: With TIMECODE, Mike Figgis has established himself as a chief proponent of the digital filmmaking revolution. In telling the story of a Los Angeles production company that is trying to get a series of new projects off the ground, Figgis employs a series of highly innovative digital techniques.TIMECODE was filmed using four separate digital cameras that--in one unedited take--capture a series of loosely intertwining characters who live and work in Los Angeles at the end of the 20th century. That establishes it as the first legitimate commercial real-time motion picture (ROPE, CLEO FROM 5 TO 7, and NICK OF TIME were falsely constructed re-creations). What's more, Figgis broke the screen into blocks, letting all four stories unfold at the same time. The story is a surprisingly lighthearted satire of Hollywood, featuring a parade of potentially cliched characters: the spineless company heads, the coked-up actress, the jealous girlfriend, the pretentious director, etc. Fortunately, Figgis has assembled an accomplished and attractive cast, which keeps the content from succumbing to the visual onslaught. The result is a strikingly original motion picture that will be remembered historically for its bold attempt at creating a new cinematic language.
