Capsule Reviews of AFI Film Festival
Following are capsule reviews of a selection of the screenings today and Sunday at the American Film Institute Los Angeles International Film Festival at the Cineplex Odeon Cenutry Plaza Cinemas.
SATURDAY
‘Prisoners of Inertia’
United States, 1989, 95 minutes 9:10 p.m. Languid inertia grips newlyweds Amanda Plummer and Christopher Rich, faced with almost too many ways to spend their New York Sunday afternoon. But before this pleasant satiric comedy is over almost one of everything has happened. New director Jeffrey Noyes Scher works with a pungent sense of what’s new and what’s not in New York and his actors are cracklingly funny, although their vehicle winds down around them.
