Director of Cal, A Month in the Country, Stars and Bars, The January Man, Circle of Friends, The Ballroom of Romance.
Written by Herman Raucher, originally, for 1968 version with Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley - which explains the fact that it still has a sort of sixties vibe to it in the wacky and unpredictable behaviour of the Charlize Theron character and San Francisco locations. (Specifically I was thinking The Owl and the Pussycat.) This version by Paul Yurick and Kurt Voelker.
It's a little difficult to buy into at first, until you know (or suspect) what's going on. Then it's rather sweet.
With Keanu Reeves, Jason Isaacs, Greg Germann, Frank Langella.
Photographed by Ed Lachmann, with a rather odd use of blue filters for the beginning and ending of days. Edited by Anne Coates, who I've suggested before was something of a romantic - more later.
