In his last screen role, Sam Shepard plays an art dealer whose affair with a young conceptual artist leads to disquieting questions of identity
Sam Shephard makes his final screen appearance in this flawed, but intriguing and often very disturbing work from film-maker Camille Thoman – surveillance thriller and noir nightmare, combined.
He plays Paul Stark, a New York art dealer who is representing and indeed having an affair with Miranda Fall (Mireille Enos), a fashionable young conceptual artist with a critically acclaimed but scandalous new installation currently on show. Miranda had discovered someone’s mobile phone in the street, and used all the photos in it as an exhibition devoted to this total stranger, meditating on the mystery of identity. The victim himself is of course astonished and furious, and shows up angrily on the opening night, creating a miasma of unease.
