Top 10 Timepieces In Cinema

Follow @DistractedFilm

Timepieces in cinema, like offices, are prisons. Mental prisons rather than physical, the mental prison as a deadline. They bind and squeeze the protagonist’s soul. They are reminders of his mortality, and they are a source of tension against which filmmakers measure the character’s well being. When a timepiece shows up in a picture, it’s rarely a good sign.

Once again, many excellent titles had to be left off, including The Awful Truth, Laura and Glengarry Glen Ross (again).

In no particular order.
