I'd like to think I'm a fairly smart guy (when it comes to movies, not calculus or anything like that), but "Trance" eludes me. "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle creates a puzzle in which each piece is another, smaller puzzle, and every couple of minutes, the pieces change shape, and you have to start all over again. It's a fairly exhilarating experience at first, but by the end, that ...

Trance | B- Danny Boyle ( Slumdog Millionaire , 127 Hours ) sure can direct the hell out of a movie. The Oscar-winning filmmaker injects every minute of Trance ’s plot-tangled running time with frenetic energy and style, using low and canted angles, arty edits and impossible camera glides to cleverly distract us from an implausible story that never plays fair with its twists. Screenwriters Joe ...

Skip It I think it was William Carlos Williams who wrote, "So much depends on a woman's pubic hair, glazed and freshly shaved." I don't know why they don't quote him on the poster for Trance . It does, after all, contain what may be cinema's most audacious plot contrivance for getting an actress to go full frontal. Danny Boyle, ladies and gentlemen, fresh from tossing the Queen of England out of ...

'Trance' Loses Its Mind

Of our current crop of Respected film directors — those bestowed with Oscars or other accolades — Danny Boyle is one of the more idiosyncratic. Like Steven Soderbergh, he's a genre hopper, but instead of sporting a version of Soderbergh's icy remove, Boyle's films flicker with a jumpy, kinetic sense of life and humanity. Even the thrillers he makes, like the new art heist/hypnotism picture ...

Reality-bending thriller that values plot over character.

For director Danny Boyle, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. With each genre of movie he makes, you get the sense that he wants to be sure it's the most demonstrative of its kind ever. Trainspotting was the druggiest movie ever. 28 Days Later was the zombie-iest movie ever. Slumdog Millionaire was the most exotic and romantic and melodramatic movie ever. (Not really, but you know what I ...
