Great Acting, Crisp Direction

Under discussion:

Interview  (2007)

I picked this up because I've been a fan of Steve Buscemi's since his "Reservoir Dogs" days, and particularly, his directorial debut, "Trees Lounge". This film being his fourth directorial effort, I could not pass it up, and I'm glad I didn't - this is the work of someone who has made a living acting in some of the best independent and/or quirky films (or even roles) of the last 15+ years. And considering there are basically only two people in the entire film, it's important to have them be engaging and interesting to watch. Buscemi and Miller have a surprising amount of chemistry throughout the film, and considering the action is limited to a series of cuts between two people having a conversation in one room, the direction is kept brisk and fresh by some clever blocking and a documentary-type feel. My only gripe is the somewhat unbelievable way these two characters get into this situation (the car wreck and Miller's character's sudden need to help someone she officially hated a minute and a half ago), but without that necessary step...well, there wouldn't be much of a story here, now would there?
