Short description
Former model Trish Goff makes her acting debut in the psychological drama NOISE. Goff plays Joyce, a newly divorced, recovering alcoholic who moves to New York to start a new life for herself. At first, everything seems to go smoothly, as she easily finds a new job and a suitable apartment. But then Charlotte (Ally Sheedy), her upstairs neighbour, invades her life. Charlotte's late hours, indifference to her fellow tenants, and manipulative nature begin to drive Joyce crazy, bit by bit, until she finally realises drastic measures will be needed to stop Charlotte's behaviour. NOISE is akin to paranoid, claustrophobic dramas like PACIFIC HEIGHTS and THE TENANT, and played to acclaim at independent film festivals around the world.
Long description
Director Henry Bean (“The Believer”) returns to the big screen with a complete rarity in American movies today: a comedy of ideas. David (Oscar-winner Tim Robbins) is a successful lawyer who can’t stand the fact that Manhattan is a place where it’s too noisy to get a good night’s sleep, listen to classical music, or even make love to his wife without disturbance. Every time David hears a car alarm going off, he swings into action. Adopting the guise of “The Rectifier,” he engages in acts of vandalism that satisfy him immensely but which generate no end of grief from his wife (Bridget Moynahan). They also make him politically controversial when he provokes the ire of the city’s arrogant mayor (Oscar-winner William Hurt).
