A Sense of the End

1996 • Directed by

Mark Lewis

In A Sense of the End he films six alternative endings in long shot - the man rushing to catch up with the train that bears the woman away; the gunshot victim faltering and finally collapsing in an urban wasteland. Each conclusion functions as a kind of film-without-a-film: pure climax that requires no build-up. Lewis makes a similar feature of opening titles.
