Stephen Frears’ HIGH FIDELITY
(R, 2000, 104 min)
Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and rarely allowed to screen nowadays in theatres, this music-driven comedy-drama follows Rob (John Cusack), a Chicago vinyl record store owner obsessed with cataloging every song. When his girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) leaves him, Rob revisits past relationships with friends like Dick (Todd Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black), navigating heartbreak and self-discovery. The soundtrack—featuring The Kinks, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, and Elvis Costello—captures the spirit of the era and fuels Rob’s journey. This rare theatrical experience turns vinyl, riffs, and lyrics into a funny, bittersweet story about growing up and obsession.
