Some theater owners are boycotting "Bubble"
because they disapprove of it's simultaneous release in theaters, on
cable and on DVD. The Film Co-op supports this innovation!
THE FILM
In this unique cinematic experiment from acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh
("sex, lies and videotape", "Traffic" and "Ocean's
Eleven"), an unlikely love triangle is born at a doll factory in
a small midwestern town that has fallen on hard times.
Lonely and isolated, long time employees Martha and Kyle have become
friends by default in spite of their drastic age difference, but their
dynamic is upset by the arrival of a new worker: young, attractive single
mother Rose. As Martha grows increasingly wary about Rose's dubious
character, she discovers Kyle and Rose developing a relationship of
their own.
A murder is committed, an investigation begins, one that will call into
question our established assumptions about these characters and life
in their small town. Featuring a cast of non-professional actors from
the Ohio location, Soderbergh brings this tragic story to life with
startling realism.

its release -- is daring and innovative." -- Roger Ebert

of a director with an artist's eye for telling details, a wholly original
story revealing the complexity and, yes, bizarreness of human nature
trumps star power every time." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Bubble" is an indie experiment
that goes from mildly compelling to surprisingly engaging in rather
subtle fashion." -- eFilmcritic.com
