Tonight I went to the film festival and saw
Late Night Shopping, a comedy
about a group of twentysomethings in Glasgow who work night-shift McJobs and,
in their spare time, hang out in a café watching life go by for want of anything better to do.
One of them is a serial pick-up artist who has a rule against sleeping with
the same woman more than three times; another hasn't seen his
live-in girlfriend (who keeps different hours) for three weeks, and has taken
to measuring the soap to determine whether she still lives with him.
It was very enjoyable; visually dynamic and full of amusing moments and
one-line insights into modern-day life, in a
Douglas Coupland-meets-Human Traffic sort of way.
If there is any justice, it should get general release, or at least a season
in a not-quite-dead-mainstream cinema and a DVD.
