INCREDIBLY SMALL
SATURDAY 9 OCTOBER AT 6:45PM & SUNDAY 10 OCTOBER AT 10:30AM
Dean Peterson’s Minneapolis set feature debut describes itself as
a 300 square foot love story; the setting may be incredibly small
but it packs an incredibly big punch. When Emir and Anne move
into their new apartment their fledging relationship immediately
comes under strain. Anne is far from impressed with the studio
flat’s ‘rustic charm’ (which seems to be another word for rising
damp) and things only get worse when her parents arrive and
conclude that their daughter has moved in with an imbecile.
But if Emir is an eternal man-child then Anne is overbearing
and idealistic, and the audience’s sympathy is skilfully bounced
back and forth thanks to Peterson’s incredibly sharp script, which
draws the utmost amount of pathos and humour.
The cracks in the young couple’s relationship are fully prised
open when their neighbour Tom, a Seinfield-esque college
professor with wonderful hair, takes a shine to Anne and throws
all of Emir’s faults into stark relief, even more so when his old
friend Brian turns up on his doorstep with stories of how much
dope ‘Eagle’ used to smoke in high school. DB
