NOW A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM Traumatized by an accident which
'involved something falling from the sky' and leaves him eight and
a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the
world around him, Remainder's hero spends his time and money
obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered
scenes and situations from his past: a large building with piano
music in the distance, the familiar smells and sounds of liver
frying and spluttering, lethargic cats lounging on roofs until they
tumble off them... But when this fails to quench his thirst for
authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events,
as his repetition addiction spirals out of control. A darkly comic
meditation on memory, identity and history, Remainder is a parable
for modern times.
