A sophisticated comedy about love, life and being true to oneself. Set in New York City with bantering dialogue reminiscent of a 1940's classic and the panache of a designer fashion show. "Gray Matters" makes you laugh, cry, and celebrates the human spirit.
They finish each other's sentences, dance like Fred and Ginger, and share the same downtown loft--the perfect couple? Not exactly. Gray and Sam (Heather Graham and Tom Cavanagh), are a sister and brother so compatible and inseparable that people actually assume they are dating. Mortified, they both agree they must branch out and start searching for love. He'll look for a guy for her and she'll look for a gal for him. But when Sam finds his perfect mate in Charlie (Bridget Moynahan) Gray's life turns inside out. A romantic comedy that sets sibling rivalry on its head, "Gray Matters" gives a whole new meaning to love . . . and destiny. With supporting roles played by Oscar Winner Sissy Spacek, Emmy nominated Molly Shannon, Tony Award winning Alan Cumming and Grammy award winning Gloria Gaynor. |

A young woman named Shiang-Chyi returns from France to discover that the promenade in front of the main railway station in Taipei has been torn down and she can no longer meet watch salesman Hsiao-Kang there. The whole city is beset by a extreme water shortage and Shiang-Chyi is obliged to either steal water from her workplace or drink watermelon juice. The need to save water seems to preoccupy the lonely Shiang-Chyi just as much as a suitcase she is having trouble opening. One day she runs into Hsiao-Kang by chance in the park and a tender romance with daily trysts at Shiang-Chyi's apartment ensues. What Shiang-Chyi doesn't know is that Hsiao-Kang is now working as an actor in porn films and that these videos are even made in a neighbouring apartment of the building where she lives. The puzzling narrative is interspersed by lively and imaginative musical sequences that transport the viewer away from the mysterious things that take place in Shiang-Chyi's apartment. Meanwhile, the young woman's abode becomes a refuge for a number of very strange characters. |
