Overview
Jack Gladney, professor of Hitler studies at The-College-on-the-Hill, husband to Babette, and father to four children/stepchildren, is torn asunder by a chemical spill from a rail car that releases an "Airborne Toxic Event" forcing Jack to confront his biggest fear - his own mortality.
It has been two days since I watched this movie and I am still not sure what to think of it. On the plus side I think it was incredibly well-acted, and it was often nice to look at. Driver is such a treasure. That said… I wasn’t always sure what was going on. Was it metaphorical? Surreal? I wasn’t always sure. It kept me interested enough to finish the movie but I can’t say that I always enjoyed it. Because I didn’t know what I was watching or how I was supposed to be watching it, I suspect that it is a film that requires multiple viewings to really appreciate it.
