Blockbusteren som eksperimentalfilm
FEATURE. Lige fra Intolerance (1916) til Inception (2010) har man kunnet opleve det besynderlige fænomen, at storsatsende, storskrydende amerikanske blockbusters samtidig kan være voldsomt idiosynkratiske. Ja, ligefrem have karakter af eksperimentalfilm. Alfonso Cuaróns Gravity (2013) er netop en sådan film. Den indskriver sig altså i en tradition, som på paradoksal vis netop har traditionsbrud som fællesnævner.
