I still remember sitting in the theater when I first saw Timecode, watching the screen divide into four, knowing I was about to see something truly knew. The film’s Hollywood industry satire — replete with glamor, seediness, earthquakes, art, commerce, drugs, adultery, girls, jealousy, aspiration, desperation, a limousine, and a gun — plays out in those four frames at once, in real time, with not so much as one cut, making for a daring and under-recognized entry in the canon of 21st-century Los Angeles cinema.
