Waste of time
Best movie ever!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
A story within a story within a story told in flashbacks. How a certain character transforms himself into another one. 9:06 is a fascinating and compelling study of psychological transformation, brilliantly represented in the movie's title, actually is a kind of upside down, twisted reflection of itself or as Jimi Hendrix used to sing "If 6 were 9". A police inspector named Dusan, played to perfection by Igor Samobor, investigates the death of Marjan Ozim, who apparently has jumped naked off a bridge, leaving his clothes neatly folded on the front seat of his car. All the evidence points to a suicide, but the odd neatness of the act and the puzzle that is Ozim, intrigues Dusan, who sets about investigating the dead man's life when he's not fighting his estranged wife over visiting rights with his daughter. Watching this movie I had to rewind couple of times just to remind myself of symbolism, it almost plays out as a shorter – Slovenian version of Memento. Crazy thing is, the more Dusan discovers about Ozim, the more he seems compelled to mentally and physically transform into him. I have to mention the main set piece, a bridge on the river Soca in Solkan, the highest road bridge in Slovenia. This graceful arch of concrete bookends the movie.The bridge itself is another symbol of the transformation Dusan experiences. It photographs beautifully, and Sterk uses it to maximum effect.If you like mind-bending thriller's do not miss this movie!
