TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
Step onto the groundbreaking, split-screen set of Mike Figgis’s avant-garde experiment on Episode 283 of Drink the Movies as we explore Timecode. We break down the daring single-take execution, the simultaneous four-quadrant narrative threads, and how this unique project redefined real-time cinema. To honor the multi-angle perspective and sheer technical ambition, we are shaking up a sharp, citrusy riff on a classic cosmopolitan: The Fourth Wall. Synchronize your watches, pick your quadrant, and join us as we raise a glass to breaking every rule in filmmaking!
