Déjà Vu?

Déjà Vu?

5 Episodes

Stop me if you think you’ve seen this one before . . . Cinema has an inherent ability to reshape time and, in the hands of a master filmmaker, temporality itself can become a unique means of immersive, brain-rewiring storytelling. Featuring looping timelines, fragmented memories, and alternate “butterfly effect” versions of events, these films—which encompass science fiction (DÉJÀ VU), psychological thrillers (MEMENTO), and surreal mind-benders (MULHOLLAND DR.)—have the power to make us rethink our very perception of reality.
