"Meticulous, yes. Methodical, educated; they were these things. Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. There were days of mistakes and laziness and in-fighting, and there were days, good days, when by anyone's judgment they would have to be considered clever. No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. It wouldn't even be considered new, except for maybe in the geological sense. They took from their surroundings what was needed and made of it something more."
Shane Carruth's Primer, a debut feature shot on 16-millimeter for a budget of around $7,000, is an ingenious movie about the perils of ingenuity.(…)
The film is, technically speaking, science fiction, but of an unusually rigorous and unassuming kind. Mr. Carruth, a math major in college who worked as an engineer before teaching himself filmmaking, has an impressive feel for the odd, quiet rhythms of small-scale research and development. His script captures the way these young scientists express themselves and takes note of how their intimate, competitive collaboration works in fits and starts and sideways leaps.
A repeat-viewing brain twister to file along-side millennial puzzle films like Mulholland Drive and Memento, Shane Carruth's Primer unites physics and metaphysics in an ingenious guerrilla reinvention of cinematic science fiction: Its analog-egghead approach may be the freshest thing the genre has seen since 2001. Less H.G. Wells than J.G. Ballard, Carruth's prodigious no-budget debut (a surprise winner at Sundance) is also the nerdiest and most plausible time-warp fantasy that movies have ever dreamed up.
Un scénario complexe, un budget ridicule et un réalisateur intrépide aux talents multiples : parfois, il ne suffit que de ces quelques ingrédients pour faire un cinéma différent. À l'aide d'une caméra Super 16mm et d'une poignée de collègues qui acceptèrent de travailler sans salaire, Shaun Carruth arriva à créer PRIMER, œuvre cinématographique qui annonce des jours heureux pour la science-fiction actuelle. Et après avoir remporté de nombreux honneurs dont le Grand Prix du jury au festival de Sundance et avoir été distribué en salle par ThinkFilm (qui injecta 40 000 $ en fonds pour améliorer l'image et le son du rendu final), PRIMER fait aujourd'hui son apparition dans une édition DVD qui nous permet de découvrir un film savamment complexe.
