Get ready to fall in love with one of the year's most original films. Cherish is a roller-coaster romance about a woman accused of a crime she didn't commit. Computer animator Robin Tunney (Vertical Limit, The Craft) becomes the victim of a bizarre kidnapping that ends in the death of a policeman. Placed under house arrest until the trial, she has only one chance to prove her innocence and catch the killer. But first... she has to find a way out of her apartment. Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210) and Brad Hunt (Hart's War) co-star in this irresistible comedy about life, love and getting locked up. With an energetic soundtrack featuring vintage music from the 70's and '80s, Cherish is a film you'll treasure forever.
"...a film of real beauty." Mark LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"...a winning performance by Robin Tunney" Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...Robin Tunney is delightful and delectable..." Joe Leydon, The Examiner
Editor's Note
Zoe Adler (Robin Tunney) is a lonely nerd working at a hip online company. Her ice-queen boss, Brynn (indie rock idol Liz Phair), doesn't respect her, and her gorgeous coworker, Andrew (Jason Priestley), is friendly, but unaware of her lust for him. After a work party, a stalker assaults Zoe, hiding in her car and forcing her to drive. They run a red light, hit and kill a cop, and the stalker disappears into the night. Zoe is taken into custody and is soon sent home wearing an electronic bracelet that makes it impossible for her to leave her apartment. As the weeks pass until her trial, Zoe spends her time roller skating around her loft and watching her neighbors. Deputy Bill (Tim Blake Nelson) periodically stops by to check on Zoe, and in time they fall in love. When Zoe proclaims her innocence to Bill, he gives her a nine-hour window in which to go out and find the stalker who's really responsible for the cop's death.This unlikely comedy, directed by Finn Taylor (DREAM WITH THE FISHES), is driven by Tunney's irresistible charm in the role of Zoe. In addition, the entire film is bathed in the nostalgic sounds of pop music from the 1970s and '80s, featuring eclectic hits from Hall and Oates, The Human League, and Modern English.
