Evie Decker (Lili Taylor) is a painfully timid young woman whose monotonous life consists of living with her reclusive widower father (Tom Bower) and working a dead-end job dressed in a rabbit costume at a rundown amusement park. Evie's quiet existence is shattered when she hears a late-night radio interview with struggling musician Drumstrings Casey (Guy Pearce). Evie is fascinated with his seductive voice and sultry lyrics and convinces her best friend Violet (Sara Rue) to go with her to the local roadhouse to see him perform. Seeing him in person, Evie becomes even more mesmerized by the handsome and brooding musicians. During one of Drum's shows, Evie's growing infatuation blends with obsession
when she becomes so entranced by his singing that she actually cuts his name
into her forehead with a piece of glass. Instead of regretting her action, she
considers this her first step towards taking more control of her life. The physical attraction between Evie and Drum increases as their emotional
need for one another becomes more and more apparent. The inspiration they find
together to break out from the confines of low expectations and the ordinariness
of small town life begins to conflict with the pursuit of their individual dreams.
Together or apart they must decide which path will lead to the fulfillment of
their newfound strength. Genre: Drama - Romance MPAA Rating: Not Rated Offical Site: The Official A Slipping Down Life Site Movie Poster: Allposters DVD/VHS: Amazon |
