The Passion Of Martin
Filmfest 2015
USA 1991
Original version
(Original: English)
Director: Alexander Payne
THE PASSION OF MARTIN was weird and arty – a black comedy based on an Argentine novella about an obsessive, one-sided love affair – but its confident storytelling and technical competence attracted attention in Hollywood. After it was screened for an audience of industry professionals, the Los Angeles Times reported that "the recent graduate's answering machine" started "smoking, recording requests from dozens of agents and development people to, please, call them back." The article quoted a film executive saying, "We’d like to see anything he has."
