Maybe you could find the screenplay for Mr. Nobody? It's a clash of times in that movie. Him as a 10 year old, 17, 34 and 170. And all the time it's a different setting for him. For example he's in 3 different settings as a 17 years old. It's a very complicated movie - it would be interesting to see how they managed all the time issues in the script.

I searched for it, but there's no screenplay online. Maybe someone here has it.

I've heard of this movie, never watched it. How did they show the transition from one age to another? Was it a title card or something superimposed?

It's an interesting movie, by the way, a bit of long though 2h37min. It has a good IMDB rating.

There's a main character which is a 170 year old man. and he lets know in the dialog - in the movie. At first we know it's him because he states so. He says "I was..."
I don't know how they did that in the screenplay. I'm curious to learn about it as well.

So in the movie, each transitional period from age to age is handled by voice over? I don't like that too much. I'd almost prefer it to play out and let the audience realize it.

It starts with the old man being under hypnosis - he doesnt remember much of his past and peopl want him to tell them about his past life. Then he gives an interview to a reporter.
There was very little VO if I remember correctly.

I'll have to give this a watch, just some of Leto's movies, or at least his performances really get to me. He plays up everything too much, like the Joker.
