F3 - Fullerton Film Festival - Bunny

Bunny
USA, 2001 88 min.
Director: Mia Trachinger

A truly independent film from a truly independent filmmaker, BUNNY is a classic from the film festival circuit. A meditative surreally funny look at America through the eyes of a married pair of Balkan refugees, the film follows Luda and Nik as they flee their homeland and arrive penniless in a daunting new country. They have trouble finding work at first, but they have each other and that is comfort enough. Desperate for work, Nik and Luda agree to sign up with an experimental public works project. Their assignment: Dress as bunny rabbits, hop on street corners, and act as comfort to strangers in the city's emotionally damaged population. As time passes, Luda begins to really enjoy her work, but Nik finds it to be too difficult to remain a passive participant and finds no enjoyment in the job at all. The distance between the couple starts to tragically widen as Luda starts to find more and more comfort in her job as a bunny and less and less in the arms of Nik. Independent Spirit Award nominee. Official Selection Toronto, San Sebastian and Los Angeles Film Festivals.
