[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The movie is set in the 1970s and 1980s and follows Fielding Pierce (Crudup), a US Congressman to be. The story centers on the relationship between him and his girlfriend (Connelly), a staunch Chilean Catholic girl and his reactions to her apparent death. It is however never made fully clear to the audience or especially Pierce if her death is real or not.
[edit] Trivia
- Ed Harris has a cameo appearance, it was originally a bigger part but it got cut out of the movie.
- Waking the Dead author Scott Spencer also has a cameo - he appears in a flashback, walking down the street with Jennifer Connelly.
- The now defunct band Hey Mercedes featured an extended sample of a Billy Crudup monologue from the film on the band's last EP and song, "Unorchestrated (live)".
