Harlan (Pascal Yen-Pfister), a moderately successful photographer,
feels burnt out, feels everything he's shooting has been shot before, and
better, too. Then, after a particularly frustrating day out trying to find
good motives, he starts to shoot his wife Alison (Rhea Sandstrom) at home,
portrays her daily routine pretty much in the raw and unfiltered ... and
his agent (Timothy J. Cox) is utterly impressed. Problem is, Alison is
less so, as she didn't know his snaps of her were anything but that and
doesn't want her life to become his art. Thing is, now what Harlan has
found inspiration again, he won't let anything, not even her who pretty
much pays his bills, stand in the way of his success ... An
interesting little movie that really keeps you in the dark as to where
it's heading to until the very end - and comes up with a horrific finale
and a good punchline, like any good short story would. And add to that
that it's beautifully shot and solidly acted ... and you've got a movie
you might really like.
