Wonderfully offbeat film!
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Overrated
Just perfect...
This and Rudolph's "Trouble in Mind" seem, to me, to be companion pieces. They both take place in a future that serves to create a mood around the characters rather than spectacle for the audience. They seem to be almost completely forgotten with no DVDs on the cards, and that is a shame since they are both terrific.Equinox contains great work from Matthew Modine, Lara Flynn Boyle and Kevin J. O'Connor in particular, but this is a quality production from top to bottom. The twin storyline threatens to drag this into the trash but the script dodges a lot of the tiresome clichés that you would expect from reading the synopsis or tag line. Please ignore the poor rating and bad reviews on IMDb. This one has been severely overlooked.
This is probably the worst movie I ever saw. I lost 1 and a half hour of my precious Sunday night to watch a trail of elements which had either no connection at all between them, or they had a connection was SO loose that you had to imagine them to find out a meaning. Additionally, the atmosphere is completely neutral, the dialogs annoyingly basic, and the end implies that the main character of the movie is of limited intellectual ability. I wonder how can anyone like this thing. OK, we had enough of silly Hollywood blockbusters, but on the other hand, we had enough of wannabes who try to promote their lack of inspiration as innovativeness, destined to be liked only by superior minds. For hell's sake, there must be a million better movies out there and if you want vague scenarios, go watch the "Lost Highway" or the "Space Odyssey". You don't need to go through this movie's mind torture!
One of Alan Rudolph's finest; this is a deliriously atmospheric tale of separated twins, lost love and searching. It is a heady brew propelled by Rudolph's sensitive direction, great performances from Modine and Flynn-Boyle and wonderful cinematography and score. Leisurely paced and dreamy this is not for all tastes but the Romantic vision and pervasive melancholy make it a rewarding piece of cinema.
An old woman dies and leaves an unopened letter from years in the past. A morgue attendant takes the letter and finds that it contains information about a trust fund involving twins. She hunts down the twins, figuring on sharing the money and writing a tale based on the proceedings. As she is doing this the separate lives of the twins is unfolding in a jumbled montage. This film reminded me of "Pulp Fiction" in the disconnected way in which it was filmed. Oddball picture, but well worth the seeing.
