Hind Sight
Valley Cinema: 11, 1:45, 4, 6:30, 9
A remake of the murdered French filmmaker Claude Chemmert's 1987 drama of the same name, "Hind Sight," directed by Stephen Toussant (who ought to get behind the camera more often), gets a lot of mileage out of the confident and wistful performances of Susan Evans and Sean Robinson as Jan and Dave, a married couple who meet up for various rendezvous in Dave's restaurant while engaged in different role-playing fantasies. Gradually, we learn that the two are hiding and flirting in other personas so they can reconnect after a horrific experience, though by the time that would-be revelation comes, the movie - which had to wait two years to find a distributor - is about more than secrets. It's about watching two always-fine actors do a lot with very little.
