Rifkin has done something unusual here, making his whole film as if it had been viewed from hidden surveillance cameras. The cameras are the kind we all know exist but forget about—nanny cams, public spaces, etc.

The stories Rifkin weaves together are reminiscent of those in “Crash” or several Robert Altman movies. But the vignettes are well-told, and some of them even line up at the end.

Maybe the best one concerns a lothario store manager played by Hayes MacArthur, the young actor now engaged in real life to Ali Larter. Jamie McShane also is very good as a high school teacher who’s ensnared and seduced by one of his students.

Fire

Posted by Julia Scher

On Friday night December 14th, a fire broke out in the Atelier. It was extinguished, and no one was injured. However, the fire and smoke caused damage. We will need time to rebuild what we can. I hope you will all join me in thinking of creative ways to work during this time. For those of you directly impacted I am here to assist you in solving some of the challenges ahead. Fire can be traumatic and it’s impact unpredictable. Please join me in my office Wed Dec 19th at 18 Uhr to reflect on the changes the fire has brought. – Julia Scher
