Description

A young downtown couple are coaxed by their offbeat friend to an outer borough of New York City in search of a man who is going to set himself on fire out of romantic despair. His story, as they uncover it, becomes entangled in their own faltering romance. Alan Taylor has honed a totally engaging film that never misses on any level.

— John Cooper
