'This intriguing script examines the crossover between life and art. You don't quite know what has happened. And that mystery , of character, of situation, of viewpoint, is very appropriate- it fits both 'Hamlet' and 'Dr.Anders'. A soliloquy seemed an appropriate form as they are a vehicle for as much truth as the character knows. Once the film has ended, Dr. Anders may well 'do something' but that possibility , like a good play, will resonate in the minds of an audience. We think it has depth, which you can reach out for in yourselves.
