Choose Me

Screening on Film

With Keith Carradine, Geneviève Bujold, Lesley Ann Warren.
US, 1984, 35mm, color, 106 min.

With Keith Carradine, Geneviève Bujold, Lesley Ann Warren Director Alan Rudolph brought his variation on the kaleidoscopic Altman style to perfection in this unique and dreamy meditation on sexual longings. A free-loving bar owner (Lesley Ann Warren) works out her problems with the help of a radio-show sex therapist (Geneviève Bujold) who meddles in other people's romances while repressing her own libido. Enter a mental hospital escapee (Keith Carradine) as the sinuous Lothario who begins to pursue both women with amorous abandon. A companion piece to Rudolph's earlier films Welcome to L.A. and Remember My Name, Choose Me is a delightfully inventive, jazzlike meditation on the ecstasies, disenchantments, and vulnerabilities of the human heart.
