PLATTSBURGH

by Greg Hovanesian

FULL-LENGTH: A lot can happen in a supermarket over the course of a night. Items can be stocked. Things can be stolen. Ice cream can be bought. A man can beat his wife for buying too much Easter candy with food stamps. A threat on one’s life could be made. Police could be called. And at the end of the night, when it’s time to lock the doors, lives may be changed.

    “

    Plattsburgh by Greg Hovanesian has a real-vibe to it and an odd assortment of average Joe characters like an early full length by Richard Maxwell. Believable dialog and intense exchanges between strangers (including one at knifepoint) elevate this short full length set in a supermarket (a microcosm of the world itself) to a philosophical level -- raising the question of what it means to be courageous in a shitty world. You get some Hegel with Spicy Diablo mac 'n cheese.
