Using forced perspective as the basis for a film is one thing but when director Robert Zemeckis does it, it can take on a whole other level. Here he tries many things and has a fantastic script but only achieved an elative level a few times and once when it simply allows itself to be lyrical.

The adventures of Hercules Poirot play on the texture of perception, location and deduction while still creating both a sense of time and tension. While the last two films directed and starring Kenneth Branagh understood their task, the style applied to "A Haunting In Venice' (enhanced for IMAX) really uses the approach as an exercise but also a classical progression of how such a film is done.
