Comedy and romance come from suicidal inclination

Filed under:

After Baylor’s first exposure to the odd town, he checks into a hotel where a wedding party is in constant party mode. His loneliness begins to haunt him and is heightened when he turns on the TV and is only reminded of his suicidal tendencies by old Westerns, bitter wives turning on their husbands and a cooking show that is selling the newest and sharpest knives.

Baylor finally calls Colburn and they talk all night, finally meeting in the morning to watch the sunrise on an old stone wall in the middle of nowhere.

The two continue to experience the town together and Colburn becomes Baylor’s comfort through the trying time as they slowly fall in love.

After the cremation of his father and a ridiculous run-in with the wedding party, Baylor professes his love to Colburn and they share that first passionate kiss.

“Most of the sex I have had in my life was not as personal as that kiss,” says Colburn as the scene fades away with the two shamelessly under the head table prepared for the next day’s wedding.

Baylor finally begins to find himself when he is forced to say goodbye to Colburn. He mentions his fiasco, tells her that he is worthy of nothing and forgets to mention that he does not want her to go.

Alice Wu’s ‘Saving Face’ defies categorization

WHEN ALICE WU’S “Saving Face” finishes its run in theaters, the video stores will have a difficult time figuring out exactly where to shelve the DVD. After all, this elegant charmer defies categorization. Call it the American film as melting plot. It is at once a gay romantic comedy, a knowing mother-daughter buddy picture and a dramatic retelling of the age-old story of what happens when old-world cultures clash with a fully realized American life. “A lot of what I’m trying to do is take the standard romantic comedy and turn it on its head,” says Wu, a first-time director. “I

Humour romance and drama packed into must-see show

When Sidmouth Musical Comedy Society decided to put on Little Shop of Horrors, the team knew that it would be a hugely enjoyable show for cast and audience alike. They also knew that it would be difficult to get people who did not know the show to come and see it. The title is not the most inspiring, giving the impression that it is going to be dark and gloomy. On the contrary, Little Shop Of Horrors is a 'spoof' horror based loosely on the 1960 comedy film of the same name. If you enjoy pantomime and musical theatre, you

The Philanthropist, Donmar, London Romance, Almeida, London On the Ceiling, Garrick, London

Christopher Hampton proves to be a trump card for the Donmar again. His Tales From Hollywood, revived four years ago, was outstanding. And now The Philanthropist, with Simon Russell Beale playing the titular spineless don, is a brilliantly entertaining and startlingly poignant evening - surely one of the best productions of 2005. On paper, it may sound slightly tiresome: a satire from 1970 set in academe, written as a response to Molière's The Misanthrope. An egghead called Philip throws a dinner party, infuriates everyone by being over-agreeable, is seduced by a nympho then ditched by his vain fiancée, Celia. In
