Laughter, tears and telephone calls. In the middle of the night, when there’s no one else… Choose Me. The lives of lonely Los Angelenos looking for a connection intertwine in Alan Rudolph’s neon-soaked comedy-drama, including a talk radio host (Geneviève Bujold), a drifter (Keith Carradine), a nightclub owner (Lesley Ann Warren), and one of the bar’s regulars (Rae Dawn Chong).
“Apart from its other qualities, which are many, Alan Rudolph’s Choose Me is an audaciously intriguing movie. Its main purpose, indeed, may be to intrigue us – as other films aim to thrill or arouse or mystify. There is hardly a moment in the whole film when I knew for sure what was going to happen next, yet I didn’t feel manipulated; I felt as if the movie were giving itself the freedom to be completely spontaneous.” – Roger Ebert
