The New Age - 1994 - 5/10

Odd indie film about the yuppie couple, going broke in glossy LA.
They are foolish with money, their careers unsatisfying.
Satire of the hyper materialism of the Reagan / Bush years into the brink.
The couple (low key Peter Weller, crackling Judy Davis) try to reinvigorate themselves.
Today’s fads are tomorrow’s failures, and the noose of financial reality tightens.
Uncomfortably funny film, dated for a few years, now resonating again.
Watch for Judy Davis, and a surprisingly good Adam West.
Finale in the boiler room is sad, poignant, hopeful.
