I Love Your Work

The achingly hip I LOVE YOUR WORK arrives with trappings familiar to any keen-eyed independent film fan. With a cast that includes Giovanni Ribisi (LOST IN TRANSLATION) and Franke Potente (RUN LOLA RUN) a big-star-in-a-cameo-role appearance (in this case Vince Vaughn) and the by now obligatory roles for people you wouldn't expect to see in such a movie (Jason Lee Elvis Costello) Adam Goldberg's debut feature is positively dripping in cool and he seems to have looked up every contact in his Rolodex for I LOVE YOUR WORK--even calling on the Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd to carve out a few songs for the soundtrack.Ribisi stars as Gray Evans a hip movie star who--between endless loft parties and frolics with his wife Mia Lang (Potente)--worries he is being stalked. Grappling with dreams about an ex-girlfriend (played by Christina Ricci) and obsessed with a young filmmaker John (Joshua Jackson) who reminds Gray of his pre-fame self he hires an investigator (Jared Harris) to help calm his insecurities. After setting out his stall Goldberg subsequently takes his audience on a disquieting thrill-ride through Gray's life beautifully capturing the preternatural world he inhabits. As Gray bees more and more obsessed with John and John s girlfriend Jane (Marisa Coughlan) Goldberg steers the movie into bizzaro-world with hints of work by directors such as David Lynch ing thick and fast. While Goldberg s film playfully struggles to reflect the dizzy confusion of its chief protagonist story threads are left dangling and the audience are made to do a lot of work; but it's a rewarding experience for those who are willing to delve into this excellent meditation on celebrity culture at the dawn of the 21st century.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR Age: 821575542951 UPC: 821575542951 Manufacturer No: TF-54295
