Movies - Amateur

Amateur is a 1994 film
written and directed by Hal Hartley starring

Donovan plays Thomas, an amnesiac trying to put his life back together, who meets an ex-nun (Huppert) writing pornographic stories.

The title is also an acronym, encompassing elements of the film

  • Accountancy
  • Murder
  • Amnesia
  • Torture
  • Ecstasy
  • Understanding
  • Redemption
The scenes of overt violence were new territory for Hartley, but the film was still in his usual deadpan and dialogue-driven style.

The soundtrack features excerpts from various alternative artists,

  • Mind Full of Worry -- The Aquanettas
  • Only Shallow -- My Bloody Valentine
  • Water -- PJ Harvey
  • Japanese to English -- Red House Painters
  • Shaker -- Yo La Tengo
  • Tom Boy -- Bettie Serveert
  • Girls! Girls! Girls -- Liz Phair
  • Then Comes Dudley -- The Jesus Lizard
  • Here -- Pavement
and original music by "Ned Rifle" (a pseudonym used by Hal Hartley) and Jeff Taylor. A soundtrack album was released by Matador Records.
