Saw Rian Johnson’s #Looper. Echoes of Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder.” Marker’s , La Jetée, obviously (q.v.) …
… Distant echoes of Oedipus, even. So, precedents. And yet, I come away w’ an impression of utter originality! …
… It’s not so much what you use, maybe, but how you use it.
#Looper. All o’ that goes also for his stupendous teenage/noir pastiche, Brick. Keep an eye on this guy!
