HARMONY & ME

Rated NR; 75min; Director: Bob Byington  

Location: Alamo South Lamar

Director Bob Byington in person for all shows.

The only American film to have its world premiere at MoMA's New Directors/New Films festival in April, Bob Byington's Harmony and Me takes the low-budget techniques associated with the much-maligned "mumblecore" cycle and puts them to the service of a raucous, highly musical comedy about the agony of introducing a broken heart into everyday life.

The hilariously deadpan comedy for the cell phone generation takes place in Austin, Texas, where a voluble young lyricist named Harmony refuses to let go of the heartbreak caused when Jessica, his girlfriend, breaks up with him. In a series of loosely improvised and very funny episodes, Harmony riffs on life and love with his friends, colleagues, and family, while fighting to win back his girl. Starring musician Justin Rice (MUTUAL APPRECIATION, lead singer of Bishop Allen) as the motor-mouthed Harmony and Kevin Corrigan (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS) as his sidekick Carlos, Byington's film presents a heartfelt portrait of a bright guy and his unsympathetic buddies dealing with heartache.
