Also, a very good
film written
and directed by
Lisa Cholodenko (and a debut,
nonetheless). It centers on the relationship between an ambitious young magazine editor (
Radha Mitchell) and a photographer (
Ally Sheedy (yes,
that Ally Sheedy)).
There are very few charecters in the film who are not heroin addicts, and the film's mise en scene reflects this. A lot of scenes are essentially visual (and sonic) heroin.
Sounds a pretty simple film, but its scope in what it deals with, and the number of things it deals with is really quite large.
Oh yeah, and the film's score is quite good, it's by Shudder to Think.
