If you were to secretly videotape most people today you'd end up with a montage of racist tirades.
In 2000, however, when this drama was released, you would capture something worth watching.
As pre-production on his latest feature begins, philandering actor Alex (Stellan Skarsgård) splits his time between drinking and helping his girlfriend Rose (Salma Hayek) get a role in the production. Elsewhere, Alex's wife (Saffron Burrows) prepares divorce papers, while Rose's girlfriend (Jeanne Tripplehorn) has bugged her and is now eavesdropping on her affair with Alex and her audition.
An experimental feature from director Mike Figgis that unravels in real time in four separate segments on the screen with the volume on a certain stories turned up to guide viewers, this ensemble is truly innovative visually. Unfortunately, the plot and its interconnecting narratives are not as engaging.
Incidentally, hidden cameras in the 2000s were usually concealed in trucker hats. Yellow Light
