This low-budget indie film by twenty-six-year-old Harvard grad director/writer/editor Andrew Bujalski is a scream. It’s a pitch-perfect romantic comedy slice of life film that gets inside the heads of its slacker twentysomething subjects and keeps things moving in a natural way that adds to the charm of the genuine landscape created. Bujalski makes his debut feature a gem, using in a low-key way a wonderful nonprofessional cast. He shot it on-location in Boston on 16 mm film. It covers the haphazard doings of the aimless 24-year-old slacker Marnie.

The inarticulate and unassuming heroine can’t make contact with others despite all her efforts to converse with friends, go out to dinner with them and attend parties. Marnie goes through a series of drunken conversations, flirtateous encounters, and personal misapprehensions, and comes out of it in the same foggy way she first began–still unable to make the transition from college life to being an adult.
