On this recording we are going to discuss a title with very familiar faces, adapted from an early 2000's play, touted about in London for a while - where the same actors themselves performed the material before transforming it to the big screen for this film!

 

Admittedly, not the most likeable story narrative.. but as always, it fostered a great conversation.. with lots to ponder

 

Sooooo lets dig into....  2003's - The Shape of Things

In "The Shape of Things," (2003) unassuming college student Adam (Paul Rudd) finds his life upended by a chance encounter with Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), a captivating art student. Drawn to his shyness, Evelyn begins a relationship with Adam, but on her terms. She encourages a dramatic physical and personality transformation, pushing him to become more confident, stylish, and assertive. His friends (played by Gretchen Mol and Fred Weller) become increasingly worried as Adam's transformation becomes extreme, questioning Evelyn's motives and the impact on their friend.
