Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (US Version) DVD Region 1

THIRTEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONE THING tells the interconnected stories of several New Yorkers who are searching for meaning in their lives. Troy (Matthew McConaughy), a promising attorney, puts his seemingly bright future at risk when he drives away from an accident. He injures Beatrice (Clea DuVall), a young cleaning woman, and her recovery from the accident severely tests her natural optimism and affects her friend Dorrie (Tia Texada). Tiring of the predictable routine of his life, university teacher Walter (John Turturro) buys Troy's car and starts a relationship with another teacher, Helen (Barbara Sukowa). Walter's wife, Patricia (Amy Irving), is left to deal with his infidelity, but she finds a rare moment of solace on the subway when a stranger waves at her. The stranger, Gene (Alan Arkin), a claims adjuster weighed down by his responsibilities, resents the incurable optimism of his coworker Wade (William Wise). The connections between these people are sometimes small and trivial, and other times momentous. But they are woven together with great skill by the film's scriptwriters, sisters Jill and Karen Sprecher. Jill Sprecher also directed the large cast, amongst whom the standouts are Amy Irving and Alan Arkin. Arkin in particular, with his beautifully modulated performance, essentially provides the spine of the movie.

"...Sprecher is largely successful with the shifting time sequences, aided by editor Stephen Mirrione, and the movie's muted, subdued production design by Mark Ricker is attractive..." - Joe, Mader (Hollywood Reporter Critic), Hollywood Reporter, 04/24/2002

"...Both straightforward and enigmatic: four fables of modern urban dissatisfaction woven into a fabric whose pattern is enchantingly elusive....THIRTEEN CONVERSATIONS is thrillingly smart..." - A. O., Scott (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 05/24/2002

"...Tautly written, resolutely low-key, intricately constructed and very serious about the risky business of being alive....It has an overwhelming sense of reality atypical of the American cinema..." - Kevin, Thomas (Film critic), Los Angeles Times, 05/24/2002

"...Arkin is flat-out perfection....Sprecher reaches deep into the minds and hearts of her characters in a haunting and hypnotic film..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 06/20/2002

"...A brilliant film..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 07/28/2002

"...These CONVERSATIONS are the ultradeep kind..." - Bruce, Fretts (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 11/22/2002

"...The actors make you care..." - Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 11/22/2002

"[With] an intricate narrative structure which traces four interconnected, interpenetrating storylines with an ingenious time-scheme that loops neatly back on itself..." - Philip, Kemp (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 06/01/2005

"Each of these strands has its grace notes..." - Tom, Charity (Film Critic), Uncut, 07/01/2005
