Human Capital
Human Capital uses an alternative narrative style to tell the story surrounding two families and their relation to an accidental murder. The choice to tell this story was probably one of my favorite things about the film. By only showing certain parts of the chronology at certain times, the audience is able to learn more about the characters and events and piece it all together on their own. Had the story been laid out chronologically, I do not know if it would have the same effect.

I agree with Will that the alternative narrative style was successful and effective in crafting the storyline in Human Capital. I think this is a common feature in literature but it was interesting to see it utilized in a film. I wondered if the director typically employs this style or if it is unique to this film and this story.
