Plot Summary : |
Louise Harrington (Linney), a divorced, thirty-something admission's office at Columbia University's School of Fine Arts is intelligent, pretty, successful, and... unfulfilled. That is, until a graduate school application crosses her desk and she arranges to interview the young painter. When Scott Feinstadt (Grace) appears, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Louise's high school boyfriend and one true love, an artist who died in a car accident twenty years earlier. Within hours of the interview, Louise and Scott have embarked on a passionately uninhibited older woman/younger man affair. But is Scott just a reminder of Louise's lost love? And is Scott just trying to wheedle his way into the Ivy League? Adding to the romantic complications is competition from Louise's best friend from high school, Missy (Gay Harden), who shows up to claim the affections of the boy; Louise's co-dependent ex-husband Peter (Byrne); her cynical mother (Smith) and fresh-out-of-rehab brother (Rudd). |

Days of Being Wild |
Réalisateur : Wong Kar-Wai. |
Starring : Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau. |
Genre : Drama. |
Official Website : Not Available |
Plot Summary : |
In his first hypnotic backward glance at Hong Kong in 1960, Wong Kar Wai creates a post-modern "La Ronde" set in a fluorescent labyrinth of cool desperation and unfulfilled need. Against the echoing rhythms of period rumbas, "Days of Being Wild" tracks a half dozen characters through their individual searches for intimate connection. Collaborating for the first time with cinematographer Christopher Doyle, Wong Kar Wai's restless visual imagination decorates this dreamlike fable with characteristic muted extravagance. "Days of Being Wild" offers an intoxicating cocktail of lush nostalgia and bitter alienation equaled only by Wong Kar Wai's subsequent films. Star crossed Asian film icon Leslie Cheung ("Farewell My Concubine," "Happy Together") plays Luddy, a devastatingly handsome Hong Kong lothario who seduces and forsakes women without compunction. Abandoned at birth, Luddy's self-destructive search for love is really a Quixotic quest for a feeling of permanence and a sense of identity... |
