What
Happened Was
dir. Tom Noonan, USA 1994
This darkly humorous film explores the personal psychic landscape
of two lonely New Yorkers. Jackie and Michael are coworkers at a large
law firm, who decide to meet at Jackie's for dinner one night. As
this 'first date' plays out, the audience is guided through a mental
minefield of disappointment, desolation, and desperation. Their conversation,
with its awkward 'small talk', slowly reveals their unhappy lives.
