Danny Boyle is one of those filmmakers -- like Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese -- who obviously enjoys every minute of making his movies, including editing the last, most minute detail, the Huffingtonpost informs.
Trance, however, feels like a Boyle escapade from start to finish. He takes this tricky puzzle of a heist-gone-wrong story and uses it to tickle the viewer's imagination, to make him think he's seeing things he's not, while showing him things early on whose meaning only becomes clear later.
It's a hard film to explain without giving too much away, but here goes:
James McAvoy plays Simon, an employee at a fancy art-auction house in London, who's involved with a team of criminals led by Franck (Vincent Cassel). He's the inside man on a mid-auction robbery of a masterpiece worth millions. The takedown goes off without a hitch - but when the crooks regroup on the other end and open up the package containing the painting, all that's left is the frame. The canvas is gone.
Simon, however, has suffered a blow to the head during the robbery that has left him no memory of what happened to the painting, though he was the last one to handle the picture in its frame. Franck decides to send Simon to a hypnotherapist, in hopes that she can delve into his unconscious and find the loot. Just for fun, the hypnotist, Elizabeth, is played by the sultry and insinuating Rosario Dawson, who seems to have an agenda of her own, as the trailers shows.
The premiere of Trance took place at Gotham’s SVA Theater on April 2nd.
