As though to reflect the parallel stories that are about to take place, the credits music switches from classical to trad jazz - and continues to do so throughout, making great use of Bartok at one point. You have to pay attention as stories ingeniously intersect.
In Melinda #1: Radha Mitchell (a neurotic nightmare), Chloe Sevigny, Johnny Lee Miller, Chiwetel Ejiofor.
In Miranda #2: Radha Mitchell, Will Ferrell (doing Woody), Amanda Peet, David Aaron Baker, Josh Brolin, Steve Carell.
Typically eclectic music choice. I love Woody's plotting - nothing works out as you expect. Woody doesn't write parts for milkmen.
Loved Ferell's delight at finding Peet in bed with another man! Lovely ending ("I found some of your robe in my door".)
Framed by the discussion of tragedy vs. comedy by Wallace Shawn, Neil Pepe, Stephanie Roth Haberle and Larry Pine.
Shot by Vilmos Zsigmond.
Fabulous.
