Perfect Sense (2011)
Country: GB/SV/DK/EIRE
Technical: col 92m
Director: David Mackenzie
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, Stephen Dillane, Connie Nielsen, Denis Lawson
Synopsis:
An epidemiologist finds her soulmate in a chef, as the world falls in the grip of an untraceable epidemic which deprives sufferers of one sense at a time.
Review:
Life goes on', the film would have it, and it is the emotional payload of each loss of self, together with the human talent to adjust and carry on, that provides the heft of this very down-to-earth disaster movie. The at times emphatic narration, and montages depicting the global reach of the phenomena in question, all might seem gimmicky combined with the decision suddenly to make the viewer share in the sensory deprivation, but the leads anchor it all well, and Mackenzie is a craftsman to watch out for.
