A film it's difficult to forget

[cmshaw · 10/10 · 23 March 1999]

I saw this film at a small LGB film festival in 1997, and have been ironically unable to forget it ever since -- in the movie, the characters' thoughts return constantly to an arrest they all witnessed. The film follows their day-to-day, frighteningly realistic and placid lives which interweave in subtle ways as they cannot forget that one scene, and its commentary on the expectations and dreams of people who some would call "ordinary" (this movie never makes that mistake) is subtle yet biting.
