...last Thursday. The movie depicts characters whose worlds are smaller, whose paths are clearly, almost painfully defined, and recalls those small, clearly defined years from my own life which could nearly be contained within a convenience shop/video rental store. As the movie’s gleeful profanity and grungy soundtrack recalled the cocoon of my best friend’s basement (which, incidentally, was so small that we could barely stretch our legs on her futon without kicking her television), my college life suddenly seemed to be almost a search for a new set of boundaries to replace the ones...
