That's a neat little teaser trailer, that doesn't use any footage for the film. This is a bitter little drama, filled with characters that are wondrously brash, self-centred, egotistical and self aware about it too. It's a world populated by New York intellectuals with rapid monotone quips and dry passive aggression. It's very funny but also pretty frustrating and very hard to like these characters.

The cast do a wonderful job though, and the story freely switches protagonists throughout so they all get a chance to do their stuff. Shot on 16mm, and it has a retro vibe. It's a fun watch but almost unbearably cynical.
