Zentropa

I liked this film. The opening hypnosis sequence instantly drew me into the world of Zentropa. I think its fascinating how the film blends different genres together, such as horror and film noir. The film is very experimental from the way its cut to the narrative. The surreal imagery makes the film so captivating to watch. Many of the suspenseful scenes felt very much like Hitchcock's films. The film is black and white, but at particular moments the image would gain color. I don't think i can come up with a reason for the film's use of color, although it was a pretty cool effect. My favorite scenes of this film were probably the opening scene and also the final scene of the film. I can still hear that haunting voice over of Max Von Syndow when I'm about to sleep.
