Perfect Sense – review
8 October 2011 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This apocalyptic sci-fi thriller is set in Glasgow where, as in the rest of the world, a series of mysterious plagues is successively depriving people of their senses – first smell, then taste and so on. The events are experienced by a chef (Ewan McGregor) and an epidemiologist (Eva Green) who find love among the ruins. Each loss is followed by despair and chaos, before society recovers its composure and goes on. Is it due to environment? Or terrorism? Who knows? One thinks inevitably of Camus's La peste. It's a haunting picture, atmospherically photographed by Giles Nuttgens.

Perfect Sense review
6 October 2011 2:20 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Ewan McGregor stars, as Perfect Sense looks to take sci-fi, and do something a little different with it. Here's Luke's take on the film...
Over the years, cinema has presented many theories as to the particulars of mankind’s demise.
It could come in the form of vast, scientifically improbable tsunamis and cataclysmic tectonic shifts. Or, perhaps, a bubonic pandemic that transforms humans into a slobbering pack of mumbling, skin-eating loco-carrion. And there is also possibility that the West’s relentlessly jingoistic realpolitik could finally spark the all-ending nuclear catastrophe (you know, the one that successive governments have somehow tried to prevent by, er, making more bombs) that finally leaves the planet free for The Machines to rule as they see fit.
David McKenzie’s Perfect Sense troubles itself with none of this hackneyed, Hollywood piffle. We do indeed - following a series of debilitating global events - witness the total breakdown of society, »
You Instead – review
17 September 2011 3:30 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In the most famous film ever set in Scotland, the hero and heroine are, for an amusing, mutually embarrassing time, handcuffed to each other. Something similar happens to Adam, an American rock star (Luke Treadaway) and Morello, a feisty British fem-rock performer (Natalia Tena). They're manacled together in the name of peace and love by a nutty black evangelist at the 2010 T in the Park, the gigantic Scottish rock festival that's the Caledonian answer to Glastonbury. Over the course of the film, Adam and Tena do all the things Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll didn't dare do (or even think of doing) in Hitchcock's The 39 Steps. But they generate little fun or chemistry, and the cliches come as thick and slick as the Woodstock-style mud churned up around them. The film's chief strength resides in Giles Nuttgens's skilled cinematography, which apparently enabled most of the film to be shot »

[Sundance Interview] ‘Perfect Sense’ Director David Mackenzie
30 January 2011 11:33 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
David Mackenzie‘s made a career out of telling small, intense stories on small, economical budgets. With Perfect Sense he goes somewhere only a few filmmakers have dared to traverse: low-budget science fiction. For every Duncan Jones (Moon) success story are 10 Danny Boyle (Sunshine) way over budget cautionary tales.
Mackenzie talked with Tfs about the ambitiously optimistic tone of his dire scientific fable, the benefit of working with familiar faces and two new projects he’s excited about, one of them another foray into science fiction.
Tfs: What was it that interested you in this particular script?
Mackenzie: Well, I had just been in America making a movie and I went back home and I was working at my production company, Sigma Films, again and then it was pretty much like a week after I’d arrived back from L.A. and the script came to me from the Danish film company, »
