A production company begins casting for its next feature, and an up-and-coming actress named Rose (Salma Hayek) tries to manipulate her filmmaker boyfriend, Alex, into giving her a screen test. Alex's wife, Emma (Saffron Burrows), knows about the affair and is considering divorce, while Rose's girlfriend secretly spies on her and attempts to sabotage the relationship. The four storylines in the film were each shot in one take and are shown simultaneously, each taking up a quarter of the screen.

Surprisingly breezy to watch, because Figgis smashingly manipulates sound to focus our attention from one place to another.

What works is the microscopic momentousness: catching instants of betrayal, rage, passion, the etching of lies. Momentousness and moment: I like the brute-simple text as well. It’s a curious collage, if not the protean adventure Figgis is touting.
