"Cloud Atlas" (2012) Directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer

Where do you start with Cloud Atlas without giving away huge spoilers? My first sincere recommendation would be not to watch any trailers or read any reviews (except this excellent one obviously) because the less you know beforehand, the more your cinematic and viewing pleasure will be enhanced. I knew exactly zero before I watched for the first time and am now writing this immediately after watching for a second time and I remain completely astonished at what an epic piece of cinema has been created.

A very brief premise would be: Six alternating timelines and narratives that interweave around a central belief in human beings and the human spirit of past and present lives that share a connectivity that whilst apparent on the surface have a much deeper meaning that surfaces as the film progresses.

Any more than that would spoil a fantastic story.
