The New Age: A Film by Michael Tolkin













Having already turned out The Rapture (1991), Michael Tolkin's next psycho-social exploration brings us into the realms of inner-outer psychic space via The New Age (1994). Judy Davis and Peter Weller are deftly cast as conspicuous consumers put through their paces when the money runs out in California. Evil indie film -- perceptive, sharp and dark, but also entertaining. Follow your bliss, choose your drum circle, pay for a personal mantra, enter the sweat lodge and remember: "Money isn't money. Money is an expression of something else!"



Today's Rune: Journey.
