Strange Parallel

At its core, Strange Parallel follows a story that unfolds like this: Strange Parallel is a documentary/short film revolving around the American singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. The film features interviews with Elliott himself as well as fans, friends and other acquaintances of his (including Gus Van Sant, Larry Crane, and the members of Quasi). The film also includes snippets of Elliott Smith performing as well as footage of him recording an unreleased song, "Brand New Game". The film sometimes moves out of reality, with acted-out, metaphorical sequences that involve Elliott considering purchasing a mechanical hand (a "robot hand" ) to improve his music.

Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and consequence run throughout. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

Strange Parallel is anchored by Elliott Smith, Gus Van Sant, Sam Coomes, and Janet Weiss, working under the direction of Steve Hanft. Each performance brings a different texture to the film.

The script comes from Jason Mason, whose writing keeps the dialogue sharp. You can trace the full credits and filmographies on IMDb and TMDB.
