#2. The 08 edition of the Cannes 2008 film festival (and in particular the Un Certain Regard section) will forever be memorable to me because of Steve McQueen’s debut film….I equate the film to having gone to a rock concert, you come out buzzing and with a nagging ringing in your ears sensation that reminds you of how much of a good time you spent. I was shell-shocked by the hard to watch brutal nature of the film and it was McQueen’s manner in which he used the medium of film to near perfection with his superb play on the visual and aural cues. I also thought that the idea of including other point-of-views before introducing the film’s protagonist (first rate perf from the Michael Fassbender) was a great manner to discuss the world where this violence exists and how the chaos is perceived.
