SUPERMARKET SWEET
The wonderful short Supermarket, written, directed by and starring Illeana Douglas, is now on Youtube. The film, which was on the festival circuit in 2004, transports us to a parallel universe where Douglas (playing herself) decides to quit acting and work at Bel Air Foods. There are self-depracating cameos from Daryl Hannah, Jeff Goldblum and Sarah Silverman, also all playing themselves, and there is a playfulness about the piece that you can’t help but find charming. It’s both a parody of actors and the movie business, and a celebration of people’s urge to entertain.
It was subsequently adapted into Illeanarama, a series of internet webisodes which can be found here, but the ideas never worked as well as in their original form. You can enjoy Supermarket below.
