I usually go to big budget movies with low expectations and more often than not, those expectations have been well justified. Conversely, I always have higher expectations of low budget indie movies because from my experience the independent filmmaker is working primarily out of his/her love of the movie making process which usually (but not always)results in Art.
When I first saw the Youtube trailer for Third Contact I was immediately captivated and suspected that I might be in for a treat and couldn't wait to attend the London Premiere on the BFI IMAX screen. I did attend and was not disappointed. I usually judge movies, not by any deep analysis but by the initial impact the movie has on me after the credits have gone up. Hiroshima Mon Amour, Woman in the Dunes, La Jetee and more recently Primer have all made deep impressions on me. I can now include Third Contact in that list. I really, really want to see this film a second and third time. My most recommended for 2013 thus far!
