Synopsis

The zenith of Don McGlashan and Harry Sinclair's legendary Front Lawn collaborations, this iconic Kiwi short follows two men and one woman on a rainy night at a deserted bar. Pivoting on amnesia and woven together by music, two timeframes are seamlessly combined and a darkly humorous plot unfolds. The film had a wide international release (Ireland to Norway, Germany to the USA) and was a finalist in the inaugural American Film Festival.

As a big fan of all don's work I have always loved this film and went to great lengths to track down a dvsd copy (its the bonus on a European release of Harry Sinclair's "Topless Women" - but its got supers on it).
Great to see it uncontaminated and continue to wonder what it all means!
