Singles (1992)

Singles (1992, USA) C-99m. *** D: Cameron Crowe. Starring Bridget Fonda, Campbell Scott, Kyra Sedgwick, Sheila Kelley, Jim True-Frost, Matt Dillon, Bill Pullman, Matt Le Gros, Eric Stoltz, Jeremy Piven, Tom Skerritt, Eddie Vedder, Cameron Crowe, Chris Cornell, Tim Burton. Slight but likable slice-of-life set in Seattle, an important breeding ground for new (grunge) rock bands in the early 90s. Film follows affairs and frustrations of several singles, like Fonda's fling with rock "star" Dillon, or Sedgwick's surprising pregnancy. Not always on target but refreshingly natural; it also features a lot of rock stars of the time in cameos (like members of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, who all contributed to the soundtrack). Director Crowe (ALMOST FAMOUS) also scripted and coproduced. Photographed by Tak Fujimoto.
