Im toten Winkel

"In The Blind Spot" experimented with an original format of building one compact story from numerous individual plot lines with the use of documentary-like features that lend the whole picture a very realistic yet also mysterious appearance, for sometimes we can't see behind the still stationary camera for the sake of deliberately hiding some actions from viewers. What was a great move, in my opinion, was separating the story lines into chapters, although not in chronological order, as it helps the audience to keep track of all the connections that are happening on the screen. Ayse Polat, the director, cleverly ended the first chapter with a huge cliffhanger that makes the viewers wanting to know more from the story and where its going. Eventhough some questions raised in the beginning are left unanswered and the audience needs maybe a little bit more imagination and power of visualization to put the puzzle pieces together in the end, I would say it is still a film worth watching because of its extraordinary approach.
