Inside Time - DVD/Le temps intérieur - DVD
Description
Bank robbers have long been romanticized in Western culture, but few have been
able to tell their own story with as much self awareness as Stephen Reid. This
absorbing documentary is about an extraordinary man, a notorious member of the
'Stopwatch Gang,' who once lived out the crazy, frantic life of the outlaw
bandit. Now sentenced for eighteen years to a prison cell, Reid has a lot of
time to reflect on the journey that brought him to this moment.
Inside Time is a cogent expression of being
acutely conscious of the here and now. Reid is, in effect, 'doing time,' but
the experience of imprisonment has forced an intense awareness of the
preciousness of life. Instead of racing against or fighting time, whether
through heroin addiction or robbing banks, he is now compelled to contemplate
the present.
Award-winning filmmaker Jason Young has harnessed music and image to
shape an artful visual essay on the experience of time through the life of
this legendary bank robber. Reid's story is gracefully set against vivid
images that speak to the different rhythms of his experience. Indeed, viewers
will find themselves drawn deeply into this film, willingly losing their sense
of time.
The DVD includes the original English version of
the film and the English version with French
subtitles.
