I was lucky enough to catch this at the last Vancouver Film Festival and remember being incredibly impressed by how the director had managed to capture the Cassavetes spirit, containing the types of social interactions that buzz with raw naturalistic energy. As I recall it is a basic remake of Husbands and follows the general plot pretty closely. The music is absolutely amazing and astutely employed. The director, composer and several from the cast were present for a Q&A after the screening, wearing ridiculous outfits and armed with a sharp swaggering sense of humour and a passion and eloquence that only served to heighten my impression of this charming film. Excellent!
