How does that apply?
Haven’t seen the film for a long time, but remembered it having a lot of flashbacks and flashforwards. It’s also listed as a non-linear film here and here. But, maybe my sixth sense is off.
Betrayal, based on a Harold Printer play, is in reverse chronological order. It maps the history of an affair, starting with its end and ending at its beginning.
I don’t think that quite counts. Having the audience go back in time to see something is non-linear. Having a character think back is just portraying a memory. It’s a subtle difference but I think it’s an important one.
Predestination, a film version of the Heinlein short story All You Zombies.
Actually, I believe it would not fit.
Rashomon is the main characters finding the results of a tragedy and telling their different versions[1] of what led up to those results.
So it’s not the timeline jumping around in one reality, it’s more like different parallel universes leading to a common this is how we got to this point here and, in fact, none of the characters really knows.
I was going to create a separate thread to discuss this style of story-telling, but I think one has already been made, years ago.
Jet Li’s [u]Hero]/u] is a movie like that, but many critics didn’t comprehend that facet.
Memento, by the way, is linear, but in reverse; it’s jumping backward in 10-minute intervals so the viewer’s experience is similar to the main character’s short-term amnesia.
–G!
[1] Largely just to pass the time while waiting out a storm.
Backwards linear is a kinda non-linear.
Not exactly a movie, but the Witcher does not follow a linear timeline.
Neither did the books. At least the first couple. I haven’t read all of them.
Does “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” count? It’s probably technically in sequence because Jim Carrey’s memories are being erased in linear time, but the progression of his memories in order to learn about his relationship with Kate Winslet was not linear.
