The Nines Movie

In the living room of writer-director John August's Hancock Park home, Hope Davis has just finished singing Peggy Lee's existentialist lament "Is That All There Is?" She has recounted a series of life experiences that have left her cold -- watching her family's house burn down, attending a circus, falling in love for the first time. Davis' character has explained that the only reason she doesn't commit suicide is because she's "in no hurry for that final disappointment."
