Human Capital

To me, the best aspect of Human Capital was that the story was told from multiple perspectives and with a nonlinear timeline, similar to (but not quite as well done as) Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. It made the overall storytelling more interesting and the director, Paolo Virzì, was able to reveal aspects of the plot when he wanted to. For example, Luca, Serena's new boyfriend, is not revealed to be a major character and the catalyst for the main plot until the latter half of the movie. If the story was told in a more traditional way, the character of Luca would almost certainly need to be revealed in the beginning of the story in order for the plot to make sense. Overall, I enjoyed the film because of the its nontraditional use of perspective and narrative.
