the viewer is dead wrong who claims that some 'mercenary' has 'exploited' hilary swank's success by releasing one of her early roles in a 'worthless B movie.'
first, this film was made seven years after her first role, and just before her breakout role in 'boys don't cry.'
second, it is the job of the owner of a library to make money from that product - as much money as can be made; so how is that 'mercenary'?
third, this is NOT a worthless movie.
it's too bad that some people don't understand authentic depictions of life when they see them. having grown up on the streets of Hollywood, i found this film to be remarkably accurate in its picture of that town. in fact, i was surprised that it took a largely-German crew to get it so right.
the camera work and editing were superb, considering that the film is not a big-budget work. the script was, if not brilliant, at least very thoughtfully wrought (though i could object to several scenes that strained believability).
its format is the meta-rondel (or meta-rondelle), a form in which we follow an object or an idea from one character or set of characters through other sets of characters until we come to a conclusion. other rondels are: La Ronde (1950), The Gun (1974), Twenty Bucks (1993), The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964), and Winchester '73 (1950).
the viewer previously mentioned is correct in that the film follows semi-related sexual encounters, which are the subject of this rondel.
all in all, a film worth watching.
