The Rapture
1991
Los Angeles, California
Michael Tolkin
Drama
What’s it all about: After sex with young David Duchovny proves unfulfilling, Mimi Rogers starts seeing God. But it turns out Mimi simply can’t be satisfied, and God is a demanding boyfriend who shows no affection and ghosts her in the desert.
First Encounter: first viewing; a Laura Dennis reco!
Prostitute Index: medium (David Duchovny has “done things for money”)
Death By: disgruntled ex-employee
Relics: vertical blinds; calling Information; throwing out Business Reply Cards while flipping through a magazine
Heartthrob: David Duchovny
LoFi Magic: bossa nova for swingers, falling prison bars as percussion
Makes me want to: see “The New Age” by same director with Judy Davis and Peter Weller
Candotti take: The first 20 minutes are great, then it becomes a different movie.
Worth a watch/rewatch: No
