10 Best Reverse Chronology Movies of All Time (The Cinemaholic)

"There is something I find very inviting in films that take a risk such as this, wherein the narrative itself is experimented upon, and the overall experience is made fresh. Telling a story in reverse is something that's (unsurprisingly) quite difficult to do. Take 'Betrayal' (1983), the Ben Kingsley starrer: It tells the tale of an extramarital romance that begins with the lovers all broken up, maintaining a formal distance between them as they talk to each other in a café, and works its way back to when the romance was at its budding stage. It's stunning to see the characters change as the years go by backwards. Reverse chronology in cinema is a fairly recent tool that has been used by filmmakers to deconstruct characters, intrigue the audience, and create poetry through the medium. Here is the list of best movies that used reverse chronology most effectively, and they're all worth checking out at least twice, in order to fully get the picture." - thecinemaholic.com
