Saw this in the IFC last week - very strange, very good film. The screen is split in 4, like Mario Kart or something, and each camera follows a different person, while the people's paths through the film cross and intertwine, etc. It's like Pulp Fiction or something, but you watch each perspective at the same time - fuppin amazing concept.

The film is about 1hr 45mins long, and the whole thing was done in one take - 4 cameras constantly going for an hour and 3/4, no edits. If this wasn't amazing enough, the film was mostly improvised - very little in the way of a script, just key points given to the actors I'd say.

There's not much of a story to it unfortunately, but you could say that about similar films, such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. It's like watching a soap from 4 different views.
