Yes
First screened in November 2005
Director: Sally Potter. Cast: Joan Allen, Simon Abkarian, Sam Neill, Shirley Henderson, Sheila Hancock, Samantha Bond, Wil Johnson, Gary Lewis, Raymond Waring, Stephanie Leonidas, Father Charles Owen. Screenplay: Sally Potter.

Twitter Capsule: A breath of fresh air in concept; you root for both leads. But Potter's rhetoric, verbal and visual, keeps making things stale.

VOR:   You'd have to be crazy to gainsay the risk and originality. Yes tries a lot; maybe too much. I teach it because I suspect it'll be some students' favorite. It always is.
