I don't know much about it. Is it worth watching?

Definitely, if only as a genuine one-off - and it's a lot more entertaining than its self-conscious experimental nature would suggest (even including a <I>The Player</I>-style self-criticism in the form of an annoyingly pretentious filmmaker pitching the idea for <I>Timecode</I> to a group of bored and cynical executives).

I've only seen it on the big screen, but apparently the DVD offers rather more.

Thanks for the reply.
I watched 'Requiem for a dream' over the weekend and thought it was really good. I loved the camera techniques at the beginning especially, with the screen split in two.

The whole film felt so real all the way through. Brilliant acting aswell.

I remember a while back that you didn't like it. Why is that?
