| looking for leonard | mile zero | 237 | bad money Other Films synopsis The Jarmuschian story of a woman who, while in the process of reading Leonard Cohen’s Beautiful Losers, finds herself surrounded by a gang of loveable losers to equal the characters in the novel. Cheap, sloppy and heartfelt, in the very best of ways, the film features a surprise appearance by Canuck diva Molly Parker. michael dowse editor official site www.lookingforleonard.com synopsis A story about a father with a remarkable capacity to love, but who lets fear and desperation rule his actions. After losing his and young son to divorce, he finds no alternative but to kidnap the boy inevitably dragging him through a harrowing journey of grief and as he learns to accept himself. michael dowse assistant editor synopsis 237 is the history of a single hotel room and the people that pass through it. It is a dark and voyeuristic drama about how seemingly ordinary people change when they spend time away from the context of their lives and in the totally disposable world of an anonymous hotel room. michael dowse director, writer, editor synopsis A black comedy revolving around the humiliating lengths that people will resort to in order to get by in an unstable financial world from applying for welfare to the compromise of personal ideals to all out robbery. The film follows four characters - two leftover punks from the 80s, a typical gray-suited businessman and a vegetarian idealist - in their desperate struggle to hold onto their respective stations in life. These deftly interwoven stories form a cautionary tale of how people deal with the search for quick cash. In desperate times, even good people turn to bad money. michael dowse editor |
