Psychodramatic 'Trance' is less than spellbinding
Could a work of art ever be worth more than a human life?
That's the diabolically intriguing question posed by "Trance," a style-conscious psychdrama in which a shimmering puzzle box artifice masks the densely plotted machinations of the fairly standard bait-and-switch crime thriller. Danny Boyle's newest film desperately wants to scale the cerebral heights of "Inception" and "Stir of Echoes" but instead succumbs to the laborious contortions of its own pretzel logic, leaving the viewer detached and exasperated by the time the end credits roll.
The film opens inside a Sotheby's like auction house in London, where Francisco Goya notoriously unsettling 1798 oil canvas "Witches in the Air" is being auctioned off for the princely sum of $27 million. Before the final bid can be placed, a group of thvees storm the room in a hail of tear gas. In the ensuing chaos, Simon (James McAvoy), the house's security specialist, grabs the painting and heads for an underground bunker, where he is knocked unconscious by Franck (Vincent Cassel), the black market art dealer who planned the robbery.
Desperate to recover the painting and convinced that Simon's injuries have resulted in short-term memory loss, Franck and his crew force the young man to attend hypnotherapy sessions with Dr. Elizabeth Lamb (Rosario Dawson), who quickly reveals her
This was supposed to be Boyle's return to his urban-maniacial roots, an effort to rekindle the gritty, quicksilver kineticism he brought to early triumphs like "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later," the latter of which practically resuscited the now-flowrishing zombie sub-genre. The imagery on display in "Trance" is suitably hypnotic, a fitful blend of translucent oranges and blues underscored by the twitchy, funk-laden palpitations of a soundtrack populated by the likes of UNLE and Moby. Yet the script, co-written by Joe Ahearne and Boyle's to-screen writer John Hodge, exhibits all the grasping excesses of a first draft in search of an uncertain payoff.

The actors do their best to elevate the anemic material. McAvoy has a surprisingly potent chemistry with Dawson, and their scenes together crackle with a self-contained erotic charge. Even though
with its loopy, convulsive cinematography and vivid fantasy sequences, "Trance" continues to fascinate on a stylistic level long after its narrative potential has collapsed under the weight of its own plot holes and paradoxes. Boyle, whose repertoire has expanded considerably since helming the Olympics' opening ceremonies and reimagining Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" as an ambitious stage play where the actors playing the doctor and the Monster (Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller) swapped roles every night, has an undeniable flair for capturing the grace notes in the visual cacophony of human movement. With a better script, "Trance" might have been a worthy addition to his impressively eclectic filmography. Instead it remains little more than a gorgeously mounted migraine.
she's saddled with an unseemly amount of expositional dialogue, Dawson manages to lend Dr. Lamb an air of fiercely repressed tragedy, Cassel, the expressive French actor best known to state-side audiences as the lascivious ballet teacher in "Black Swan," gives the finest performance of the movie as the cunning, duplicitous Franck, who in lesser hands would have been played as a token thug.
