Cold Weather

Seattle Premiere!

(Aaron Katz, USA, 2010, HD, 96 min) After becoming an indie sensation with his films Quiet City and Dance Party USA Aaron Katz returns to the screen with the maturity of a veteran filmmaker whose arsenal of cinematic tools seems to know no bounds. Cold Weather, his newest work (set in his native Portland), is simultaneously a story of siblings Doug and Gail and a mystery in the great tradition of crime and detective fiction. Katz's coy and funny thriller keeps audiences guessing, while sharpening his singular cinematic style. Cinescope hailed it as "the greatest American film of the year," and we happen to agree. Screens with 9 to 5, Aaron's film commissioned as part of the Film Forum's One-Shot film program.

"It's an impressive experiment in genre in more ways than one: a pulp fiction of troublesome dames and distinctly costumed villains, wedded to conversational comedy, while also a subtle exploration of friendship, family and the behavioral differences between the two." LA Weekly
