Eavesdrop
(2008)

- 剧情:"Eavesdrop," a new script by Matthew Miele who will also direct, has been carefully written to steadily immerse the viewing audience into several different conversations getting them caught up into some brilliantly bizarre, but ultimately charming stories. This unique motion picture is intent on continuing the grand tradition of films that have explored similar themes such as the Peeping Tom in Hitchcock's, Rear Window and snooping in Coppola's, The Conversation. The entire film will take place real time in a cafe in Manhattan during a busy brunch hour. An eclectic cast is currently being assembled to portray the patrons at several different tables that will eavesdrop on one another in a variety of intriguing ways. Ultimately, this film is an experiment in mixing film genres. For instance, one table will be a thriller where a husband confronts his adulterous wife as she waits for her lover for their weekly rendezvous. A neighboring booth will have a couple caught up in a romantic comedy as they fumble through a blind date being underscored by a frustrated composer seated at the bar. Another area in the restaurant will be more dramatic with a trio of folks caught up in a Shakespearean-like tragedy. On the opposite side of the café sits a married couple facing a deadly illness, across from them sits an eccentric pair pricking each other with film-noir style dialogue, and just behind them a widow speaking to an empty chair where her husband used to sit. Each story has its own plot and theme as the script insures that there will not be any contrived or forced common element among the patrons. The film will rely on the happenstance and subtlety of eavesdropping and how those peculiar messages from half-heard words and phrases will be translated. The test and innovative aspect of the script is to see if the audience can ride that emotional roller coaster the film will take them on as we switch from table to table and if we as filmmakers can successfully create each genre at each different table as described above. Then going one step beyond, being able to handle the genres mixing into one another as the tables begin to eavesdrop. The flavor of the film will undoubtedly need to be very diverse and lively making an art director's job crucial. Just as writing the screenplay was difficult trying to keep the conversations evolving, remain interesting and have exciting and unexpected finales, so too will the art direction be just as challenging and need to be just as strong an element in the café---the sole location the movie will be shot. A brilliant cast is being assembled to portray the patrons in a café that should be European in design, but also Greenwich Village-eccentric yet trendy. This is a Woody Allen/Robert Altman infused film with its snappy dialogue and spicy ensemble. Films like Amelie come to mind with its heightened energy and lust for life. Also the spirit captured in the colorful and zany works of DeKooning. The sneakily fractured background that Hepburn had as GoLightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, but retaining an Old World sophistication a la café society in NY during the 40s.
