Calendar

Then an interesting film by Armenian director Atom Egoyan called Calendar, which deals with cultural identity and estrangement far more effectively than Lost in Translation and pieces together its story in reverse with far more cleverness than Memento. Surreal repeated scenarios become believable, a relationship breaks down in a slow, sad and pathetic way and yet there are lighter moments, too. Feels far older than 1993, but nevertheless was very interesting viewing.
