Revolution #9

Tim McCann's "Revolution #9" is a taut, intelligent psychological drama that effectively plays one nightmare against the other: the first being a Manhattan freelance writer's (Michael Risley) descent into schizophrenia and the other being the ordeal his fiancée (Adrienne Shelly) plunges into when she tackles the woefully inadequate mental health bureaucracy in her desperate attempt to get him some help. In regard to the second element, McCann exposes rather than preaches, and his film is the very model of the forceful, no-frills low-budget New York independent production.
