Another cool one from Andrew Bujalski. This time he heads straight into a “musician moves to Brooklyn” trap, but totally pulls it off. I think these films will someday stand as interesting period pieces into how twentysomethings lived at the turn of the century. Again, nothing earthshaking here, mostly people talking, living trivial lives, worried more about things like bands and kissing than anything too heavy. But we all go through this to some degree and the fact that Bujalski can replicate it so perfectly in a fictional setting is a testimony to him as a filmmaker.

The lead character is in a band called Bishop Allen, which I downloaded at one point. That’s all I’ll say about it.
