LUX Prize
On the 27th – 29th November there were 3 film screenings by LUX Prize at St. James Cavalier in Valletta. Three brilliant films which made the screening that much more enjoyable. My favourite, however, has to be The Broken Circle Breakdown. It has an entirely non-linear narrative structure, which shows the story of two lovers in the most original manner. The dialogue was used to a minimum and the story was shown clearly through the visuals (which is how films are supposed to be). There was no single scene that was extra in any way; we were given only the necessary information to understand the story, through the use of a fractured sequence that links everything together.
The film also uses foreshadowing and pathetic fallacy as tools to develop the narrative.
