Synopsis

The lives of a French theater director, her ex-boyfriend, and the two actors playing them intersect in the New York theater world.

Our take

Sean Price Williams’ extraordinary camerawork is unmissable in this striking dark comedy directed by indie mainstay Nathan Silver. His camera fixates on a group of friends (including Esther Garrel!) in extreme close-up as a range of atmospheric colors permeate their faces.
