FEATURE PRESENTATION:

EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER
1999, 87 minutes
Directed by: Marc Forster

A searing parable of human frailty and isolation, the film probes the impact of an unexpected tragedy on a community homogenized in minivanned, manicured affluence. With extreme sensitivity and compassion, Marc Forster punctures the suburbs' surface of propriety to unveil the anguish of an individual adrift in the absence of compassion or support. What emerges is a film that is nothing short of soul stirring: a new emotional realism for a dawning digital age.
