Everybody loves a trier--and Cloud Atlas Tom Tykwer & the Wachowski’s genre-hopping epic of interlinking stories is a deserving sci-fi contender that sets its originality & complexity against the grain of risk-averse Hollywood The writers have heroically adapted David Mitchel’s bestselling 2004 novel condensing its 500 pages into three brisk hours & ditching its famous chronology in which successive time periods are arranged concentrically like Russian dolls Instead Cloud Atlas slides back & forth over its half-dozen stories--Victorian travelogue interwar romance 70s corporate thriller bedroom farce dystopian sci-fi & lyrical post-apocalypse--interlocking them like an enormous cross-word puzzle As with the Wachowski’s Matrix trilogy the overall plot of Cloud Atlas is an earnest epic of metaphysical freedom-fighting & a daisy-chain of clues place the film’s themes of slavery (whether personal political or corporate) & abolitionism as an eternal cycle in human history Rejected by Hollywood in early production Cloud Atlas was rescued by 100m of independent money & the good faith of its up-for-it cast--who bust a gut to inhabit multiple roles including successive reincarnations of the same set of characters Artistically it just about breaks even as a sci-fi blockbuster staring its critics down & flaunting its eccentric touches These

Includes:: some out-there moments of race & gender promiscuity Hugh Grant switches between a playboy pensioner a Korean restaurateur & a grunting cannibal warlord; Hugo Weaving plays the silver-tongued demon Ol’ Georgie whilst holding down a side-role as Jim Broadbent’s bosomy matron; & Halle Berry is both a feisty Blacksploitation-era journalist & a deracinated English rose Leading the cast is Tom Hanks in the most generous performance of his career--diving in & out of wigs accents makeup & false teeth exchanging dramatic leads for comic bit-parts & revolutionary heroics for panto villainy A box office underachiever Cloud Atlas is geared towards multiple viewings & offers a rare glimpse of a major literary adaptation battling against production odds & a cast & crew uncynically giving their all --Leo Batchelor --This text refers to the DVD edition
