The New Age
First screened in the late 1990s / Most recently screened in September 2024
Director: Michael Tolkin. Cast: Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Patrick Bauchau, Susan Traylor, Adam West, Paula Marshall, Bruce Ramsay, Rachel Rosenthal, Patricia Heaton, Tanya Pohlkotte, Corbin Bernsen, Lily Mariye, John Diehl, Maureen Mueller, Sandra Seacat, Samuel L. Jackson, Audra Lindley. Screenplay: Michael Tolkin. In Brief:
Less daring than The Repture but its spooky, etherized satire more consistently hits its goals. Odd, but worth trying.
VOR:③
Very unusual execution of Tolkin's idea of LA as a thin but shadowy ozone, hard to escape. But the idea behind that critique ain't new.
