High Fidelity
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Stephen Frears
2000 / 104min / 35mm
Based on Nick Hornby’s 1995 novel of the same name, Frears’s adaptation remains remarkably faithful to its source while moving the setting from north London to Chicago, where monologue-prone compulsive list-maker protagonist Rob Gordon (John Cusack) spends his working hours matching knowledge of musical esoterica with employees Jack Black and Todd Louiso and his downtime analyzing his history of failure in relationships by reconnecting with the women who’ve qualified for his countdown of Top Five Worst Breakups. “Movies this wry and likable hardly ever get made… Savors the rhythms of these lives, sees how pop music is a soundtrack for everyone’s autobiography… and causes us to leave the theater quite unreasonably happy.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios/20th Century
