Short summary

A parable about origins and authenticity. When a book falls from the sky, striking a young hipster in the head, the fashionable extinctions of oysters and hipsters become inexplicably intertwined.

    Wurmfeld's Oyster: Andrea Merkx is a hoot as usual and I liked her/him paired with Hank the waiter. Loved the "gorgeous extinct creatures" lot!

    The ending kind of lost me. They run happily out of the room to go extinct? That's the point?

    The poster photo isn't part of the film or did I miss something? I know the photo is a takeoff of the American Gothic painting but both are sex role stereotyped for a hermaphrodite analogy.

    The actors are kind of androgynous. You aren't wondering which is biologically which gender. They are not clearly hermaphrodite if they are supposed to be like the oysters in that respect.

    The oysters on the subway platform aren't hermaphrodite either. This one looks female. The other looks male. So is that what you are saying, that hermaphrodites don't get to be hermaphrodites any more?

    Or do they happily run out of the room to become something different?

    Saw Whole Foods listed in the credits. Did they provide the oysters or the restaurant? Where were the oysters from?

    The film didn't lose my attention.
