Pynchon/The Caller/Product Placement

[Michael Bailey]

The Caller really is a pretty good movie, it's one of those that lingers in
the mind with a really nice aftertaste, I think.  I think I want to own a
copy.

You might call it Pynchonesque, in that people who want straightforward
exposition will be impatient with it.
And what seemed to me like a fine and delicate series of emotional
resonances (including the copies of V. on the bookseller's table) seems by
most of the reviews and comments on the web to have been missed and
misinterpreted as polemics and ham-handed manipulation...

Also, one of the writers is Alain Didier-Weill, who studied with Lacan.  I
read somewhere that the movie was based on a French novel, but have been
unable to find if that's true.  But Monsieur Weill seems to have credits
both in show business and psychoanalysis.
