Coherence


Schrodinger meets Sartre in this mind-bending sci-fi film. As a comet passes overhead, a dinner party gets weird. Featuring feng-shui, a mention of the Tanguska Event, someone claiming to be an actor on Roswell, a recounting of a dream about a bear, and 'a whisper of ketamine', Coherence is a loose, ad-libbed, shaky-cam film that's a lot more fun that it should be. Non-linear and a little stagey at times, I found myself becoming very anxious and tense during this film as the strange occurrences unfolded and not just because dinner parties make me anxious and tense. Hell is definitely a dinner party, and it's probably happening in a box with a cat.
