Our take
In Hal Hartley’s satirical take on the espionage thriller, nearly every shot is tilted, creating a maze of Dutch angles around an elusive mystery. Brilliantly delivered by the ever-eccentric Parker Posey and Jeff Goldblum, screwball dialogue turns international intrigue into a razor-sharp farce.
