The lingering camera and long takes gives off a sense of eeriness
Half conversations heard for much of the film (not quite the same as Altman’s overlapping dialogue but still)—the premise is a woman (Geraldine Chaplin) stalking a couple without telling you too much- it brings you in
I had a tough time with Anthony Perkins as a construction worker
Wonderful bluesy score
Zoom heavy but not fast zooms- I think it mirrored the content of the film with the long stalking and chase set-up scenes
It’s great to see Chaplin so edgy and uninhabited
Repetitive formal element of the earthquake on the news and people dying while everyone is so focused on the misery and issues in their own life—hard not to think about altman’s short cuts
Besides the altman influence I see a cassavettes influence as well- this is an important early indie film from an important indie filmmaker
Defiantly open ended finale
Wonderful scene of chaplin and perkins ordering every drink from the bottom up starting with zombies
