A broken date serves as catalyst for an entrancing journey through the heart and mind of aggressively intelligent filmmaker Terence Nance. In fractured essayistic fashion, the filmmaker dissects his past relationships, fantasy life, everyday existence, and the culture at large to better understand himself and the nature of love. With each new perspective, the film takes on a new visual language: vérité realism, dramatic recreation, tone poetry, and a wild array of animation. Its hyper-literate narration and eclectic visual style lend it the sophistication of a poem or collage, but Nance’s work is pure cinema. Jenni Rowland
