State and Main (2000) – 4/5

State and Main (2000) – well done. Well written and clever. I wonder just how clever it really is.

Like when the director makes the girl take her shirt off and you don’t see anything except his (lack of) reaction. Also, the name “State and Main” how it relates to the movie w/in the movie.

It’s about purity. The characters seem to be personifications of character traits almost.

Strong dialogue. Great characters. Excellent story.
