The Safety of Objects
Intricately woven study of family distress from director Rose Troche ("Go Fish") looks at the troubles encountered by four households in the same suburban area. Joshua Jackson, a teenage boy lying in a coma after an accident, serves as the link that stretches from his mother (Glenn Close) and his middle-aged lover (Patricia Clarkson), to a nearby lawyer (Dermot Mulroney) and a sexually frustrated neighbour (Mary Kay Place). With Jessica Campbell, Moira Kelly, Robert Klein and Timothy Olyphant.
