This Closeness

"This Closeness might best be described as a film in the lineage of mumblecore. Directed by indie filmmaker Kit Zauhar (who has already garnered similar acclaim for Actual People), the film is about a young couple in crisis who, over a weekend, rent a room in the apartment of another lonely man, who becomes an unwilling witness to their lives and problems. It's a small and extremely intimate film, about three characters who enter into a negotiation over privacy, where intimacy becomes a weapon and spaces, as well as sound, turn into battlefields both emotional and erotic."
