Director Jill Sprecher’s acclaimed film features an all-star ensemble cast in a fresh and whimsical look at the invisible every-day and destiny-shaping miracles that we have come to call “fate.” In five distinct New York tales, the lives of seemingly disparate characters converge: a public defender (Matthew McConaughy), whose life suddenly mirrors that of the criminals he prosecutes; a college professor (John Turturro), who is facing a poignant crossroads; an envious businessman (Alan Arkin), who seeks revenge on a compulsively cheerful co-worker; an optimistic cleaning woman (Clea Duvall), who searches for miracles in the aftermath of a tragic accident; and a wife (Amy Irving), who faces her husband’s infidelity. All five stories are interwoven to create a touching tapestry that has warmed the hearts of moviegoers and critics across the globe. Playful and poignant, 13 Conversations About One Thing is a luminous and strangely beautiful film. (2001, 104 min.)
