Personal Evaluation
Michael Figgis has an idiosyncratic alternative style, often with outlandish and shocking behavior. In the movie "Time Code," the innovative Mike Figgis directs the audience to the quarter-frame where the main action and plot take place through the modulation of sound, and as the story unfolds, the dominant actions of the characters change between the four frames. Moreover, the form of his single shot, split screen and DV movies is fresher than the content. From the film "Time Code" to the film "Leaving Las Vegas", Figgis scurried at once to the frenzy of the film's narrative and formal explorations, running from one extreme to the other (Contemporary Cinema, Newsweek, Netflix comprehensive review).
