DVDebut Worth Noting -- REPRISE
This critics' darling is indeed full of smart editing and clever combinations of what is, was and might be as it tackles a story of two young writers and how each handles his early success. If REPRISE left me a little less than satisfied (more screen time's devoted to style than content, leaving us grasping to understand characters we'd like to know better), I'm still happy to have seen this first full-length feature from young Danish writer/director Joachim Trier (above right).
