film, directed by Gus Van Sant, starring Nicole Kidman and Matt Dillon

In theory this is loosely based on a true story of a smalltown TV weathergirl, Kidman, who conspires with a local high school boy (Joaquin Phoenix), to commit murder.

Dark humor with surreal, RealTV-like dialogue

Includes cameo by David Cronenberg.

When I saw this in the theater I was the only one laughing, and I laughed a lot.
