| Synopsis | Trauma is an adult, psychological thriller dealing with contemporary themes and anxieties. Our obsession with celebrity, our inability to deal with grief and the loneliness of life in the big city. London is the backdrop and Ben (Colin Firth) is the focus. It is the tale of an ordinary man investigating his own psychosis. It operates on different levels of reality presenting us with characters, like the beautiful Charlotte (Mena Suvari) who may or may not be real and situations that may or may not be true.
The plot twists and turns so that we are not sure even until the end whether it is Ben or the people around him are mad, whether it is his imagination or the world that he occupies that is becoming warped. Trauma is a suspenseful genre movie that deals with real feelings and follows in the footsteps of such recent modern myths as The Sixth Sense, The Others and K-Pax. It is a film that will challenge our minds as well as engaging our emotions and keep us guessing until the end.
