bugshaw: (Brazil)

Saw this yesterday - the trailers make it look like cute Ryan Gosling doing exciting things on a motorcycle like stunt riding and pulling bank robberies, the reviews said good things about it being a powerful tale of family, fatherhood and fate, and the way a life can turn on a tiny decision and have repercussions down the generations.

Anyone else seen it? I was intrigued by the way some of the action scenes were shot, very jerky, like a series of stills more than the 24 frames per second we're used to. I was trying to work out what effect this had - almost like a comic book? A sort of distancing and switch of genre from the moody closeups of Handsome Ryan being eaten up by emotion and trying not to show it.
