Stories of lost souls - Hollywood in 7 episodes


7 different short stories out of people's lifes, people who are lost in their own feelings, stuck in situations. A nice idea for a DVD, also a great cast. We got James Gandolfini in the episode "A whole new day", we got Josh Harnett in "The same", we got Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley, Daryl Hannah, Hugh Jackman and a few more, actually more Top Hollywood cast than you could usually get into a movie.

The story endings are surprising and sometimes even the story ideas are. A midget who's in love and stalking his tall, great looking neighbour; a man who gambles about his car if the stranger finds out how he lost all his money this very evening; Illeana Douglas working in a supermarket and starting a theatre show there spontaniously with a collegue; a man waking up in his flat in the morning when it seems like his wife has left him with the kids and all his furniture.

I highly recommend you this DVD if you don't wait for action, romances, much drama and deeply philosophical thoughts. If you just wanna watch a nice collection of Hollywood shortfilms this is totally for you!
