In A Spiral State (2009)

- written August 27, 2009

Summary: In the city of Los Angeles, millions of lives intersect everyday, but each individual is still isolated from the whole. A number of strange incidents occur to four men and four women, just as their own lives begin to spiral out of control. Surrounded by con artists, frauds, drug addicts, and homeless people, a story starts to form in a screenwriter's head. Little does he know, his characters seem to have come to life as well. Things takes a surprise turn, as these LA residents find themselves locked into a mystery together. While relating to quantum mechanics, our own spiral galaxy, and the struggle of human existence, an urban love story grows out of the vine of disconnection.           Overall: Definitely a film that is “out there.” It takes some time to see where the film is going but you gotta love the intricacies and the visuals of this film. Some really nice acting performances, including my favorite, Bianca Barnett. Ramzi has put a very interesting piece together here as we see all those folks separate but slowly intertwining their lives as we discover things getting a little out of control.           Comparison: Uzumaki meets Organ
