EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. -- As any young contemporary New Yorker can tell you, there can never be too many films dealing with the subject of romantic problems, and Jon Sherman's debut feature "Breathing Room", shown at the Hamptons International Film Festival prior to its commercial release in November via Arrow, is the latest entry in the genre.
"Breathing room", of course, is the term used when couples take some time apart in order to evaluate their relationship. This is what Kathy (Susan Floyd) and David (Dan Futterman) decide to do when things aren't going so well. It seems, among other things, that David is completely unable to say those three essential words -- "I love you". He can say them in French, in Spanish, but not in English. When David considers a job offer to teach English at a school in Vietnam, it only intensifies the crisis.
So they decide to not see each other between Thanksgiving and Christmas. David tries to explore his feelings; when his parents suggest he's gay, he kisses his best friend full on the lips and breathes a sigh of relief at not responding. And Kathy starts to act on the attraction she has long held for her boss (David Thornton).
"Breathing Room" lacks the sparkling performances and dialogue of such similarly themed recent entries as "Walking and Talking", but it has an appealing earnestness and two appealing performers in the lead roles, with Floyd making a strong film debut and Futterman expanding on the promise he showed as Robin Williams' son in "The Birdcage".
The film also benefits from a realistically gritty look -- it was photographed by Jim Denault, who achieved similar effects in "Nadja" -- which has the effect of making New York during the holiday season seem emotionally draining rather than magical.
