Read MoreDanny Boyle's latest film, Trance, is a victim of its own ingenuity. It's a film about memory and how a person is defined by their memories. These memories can be tampered with, removed, replaced, even changed ever so slightly to make reality seem different than it actually is. To bolster those ideas, Boyle gives the film a…
Read MoreThe latest trailer for Danny Boyle's Trance can't beat the earlier red-band one in terms of sex and violence, but it doesn't need to. It looks plenty dark and twisted and bizarre as is.
