Trailer: TIMECRIMES

Low budget science-fiction films are almost always better than their more heavily financed counterparts, simply because they concentrate more on characterization and smart story ideas than they can on spectacle and special effects. I saw one of the best examples of this last spring as Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo’s Timecrimes was making the festival circuit. Magnolia will finally be bringing the film to theaters later this winter. In preparation for that, they’ve released this trailer, which does a good job in setting up the film’s premise without spoiling any of the fun twist and turns its narrative takes.
