Mary Harron
Lili Taylor, Jared Harris

Last Party 2000
Donovan Leitch, Rebecca Chaiklin
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ben Harper
Filmed over the last six months of the 2000 Presidential election, Phillip Seymour Hoffman starts documenting the campaign at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, but spends more time outside, in the street protests and police actions than in the orchestrated conventions. Hoffman shows an obvious distaste for money politics and the conservative right. He looks seedier and more disillusioned the campaign progresses. Eventually Hoffman seems most energized by the Ralph Nader campaign as an alternative to the nearly indistinguishable major parties. The high point of the film are the comments by Barney Frank who says that marches and demonstrations are largely a waste of time, and that the really effective political players such as the NRA and the AARP never bother with walk ins, sit-ins, shoot-ins or shuffles. In the interview with Jesse Jackson, Hoffman is too flustered to ask all of his questions.

Men Make Women Crazy Theory

Alexia Landeau, Donovan Leitch
What I wanted to explain in my movie was to show the pain that poeple go through when they are not sure of themselves in a relation. In this way, 'Men Make Women Crazy Theory' focuses on the pain of having to face a person whose love doesn't come up to what you have expected. - Zoe Cassavetes
