Each, impossibly, meets the other on either side of the bridge, and two very different adventures in urban life begin-and the viewer takes a leap of faith and goes with them. When Bobby flips a coin, and the two run in opposite directions, she toward Brooklyn, he to Manhattan, one fears another exercise in formalism for formalism’s sake. The film begins (on July 4) and ends (on July 5) with their discussing in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge what to do about the unexpected situation. His girlfriend of 10 months, Kate Montero (Lynn Collins), is a Brooklyn-reared Latina and dancer on Broadway who is 11 weeks pregnant. Bobby Thompson (Gordon-Levitt) is a Canadian-born musician trying to make his way in New York City. The two excellent leads, who improvised their dialogue with the directors, are key to carrying the film. Uncertainty could get a sizable niche audience that has evaded McGehee and Siegel in their earlier collaborations. Two alternative, and alternating, stories involving a striking young couple, which move back and forth between Brooklyn and Manhattan, fly by rapidly, their execution aided by Christopher Doyle protege Rain Li’s exquisite handheld camerawork and Paul Zucker’s accomplished editing. In the past, their provocative films have veered toward the academic, as with the study of amnesia in the modern Cain-and-Abel tale Suture (1993), and the revisionist generic conceit of The Deep End (2001). Regular collaborators McGehee and Siegel have hit what is called in baseball a double-a compliment, that-with Uncertainty.

In the office scene where Perry is dictating to Della from a book, when he says “California State Penal Code, section 1362, dealing in competency as evidence when witness uh.,” he is speaking of an actual and appropriate section of the CSPC.Īnomaly: Kathie Browne is listed as Donna Loring but is called Donna Ross.Dir. + Goof: Right after the above scene Perry closes the book with an audible thud, picks up the newspaper while putting the book down with his left hand and holds the newspaper with both hands. When the camera switches to a front view we hear what sounds like the thud of the book closing again and Perry has his right hand below the screen apparently putting the book down again. Music:The piece playing at the episode’s opening (with Carpenter at the piano) is Beethoven’s Sonata in C minor, Op. The closed captions coupled with the syndication print incorrectly list this as the overture from Beethoven’s Fidelio. + The closed-captions on the DVD simply state "(piano music playing)" and later, "(classical piano music playing)."

Uncredited Actors: Robert Wegner gets two appearances in this episode. He's a frowning spectator on the prosecution side, and he seems to be a uniformed policeman at the desk outside Tragg’s office when Tragg, Mason, and Worthington meet. + Don Anderson is among the second-row spectators on A.D.A. Just TWO CARS: Perry's 1960 Ford Galaxie Special Sunliner, Lic No TVC 236, black, top down.
