RED VIC MOVIEHOUSE

Dir. Richard Linklater US 2001
What may be the year's most dynamic film is set entirely in a cramped motel room. Synthesizing the best parts of Mamet, Rashoman and No Exit, director Linklater's (Slacker, Waking Life) latest is an exquisitely crafted pressure-cooker in which three friends reconvene to recall their shared past. However, it's clear that they have fiercely different memories of their shared history. Although Amy (Uma Thurman) is now a district attorney, it's soon evident that it's actually Vince the volunteer fireman/drug dealer (Ethan Hawke) who is set to prosecute. Truth and guilt slip and slide like fish on a wet deck until an illicitly recorded conversation may finally reveal which characters' version of events is definitive. (86m)
