Seller's Description:
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Saskia Reeves, Alexander Rendel, Carlo Manni, Lene Maria Christensen. Run time: 97 mins. Originally released: 2003. Languages: English, Thai. Factory Sealed Brand New DVD Ironies compound ironies in "The Tesseract", a hyper-stylized, meta-narrative about the fateful links between four strangers staying in a Bangkok hotel called the Heaven. Sean (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is a British drug runner making a local gang impatient, Rosa is a child psychologist taping interviews with local kids about their dreams, Wit (Alexander Rendel) is a little thief who lives and works there, and a female assassin (Lene Christensen) sent to deal with Sean sits bleeding from a bullet wound in one of the Heaven's drearier rooms. Wit is the link between all three adults, running errands, ingratiating himself, breaking into rooms to find items worth fencing. Based on a novel by Alex Garland ("The Beach"), "The Tesseract" is directed by Oxide Pang Chun (co-director of "Infernal Affairs") and casts a feverish spell with its endless time loops, dissecting action and drama through shifting perspectives on the same scenes.
