Jeremy made his most recent movie, Marguerite, when he was 15, inspired by the motifs and lighting of noir cinema. Very nice indeed. I hadn't gotten a chance to view the film until today. As you say, he captured the look and feel of French film noir in color very well, and also its trade- mark sparse storytelling. We are told very little about the events we don't see onscreen that led up to the encounter we see onscreen, but we are given just enough to imagine the rest -- *our* rest. Please pass along the congratulations and encouragement of a lifetime film freak (moi) to your son, and let us know when there are others to be viewed.

I caught your meaning, Sal, and appreciate it - you gave me a new way of looking at it. My remark about its not being an action movie was an attempt at understatement. I'm glad you laughed - it was meant to amuse. And thanks for the kind words.

In my experience, yes. It may have a lot to do with being of college age and in a college environment in which you can still get laid by looking depressed and oh so thoughtful. :-) My son's last few have been. The most recent one is in French, for God's sake. How appropriate. The French have organized an entire lifestyle around getting laid by looking depressed and oh so thoughtful. :-) www.jeremygillam.com I'll check 'em out. Thanks.
