Plot
Psychiatrist Sam Foster takes on a colleague's patient, talented art student Henry, who announces his intention to kill himself at midnight on Saturday. As Sam pursues Henry, hoping to save him, the world around him begins to fracture and distort and Sam's mad world impinges on Henry's rational one. What's the meaning of the flashbacks to a car accident on the Brooklyn Bridge? Why are dead people seemingly alive? A hallucinatory New York becomes a dark, fractured, dislocated landscape. An intriguing, unusual and brilliantly edited supernatural thriller, one of the year's best movies.
