13 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONE THING (2002)

13 Conversations About One Thing is a genial story that begins in the home of Professor Walker (John Turturro), a physicist, who is asked by his wife what he wants.  Walker responds--what all people want, happiness.  The story itself is as fragmented as the actual search that many face when they search for this emotional state of joy.  As the audience is initially led through the story via a number of conversations, it seems like these conversations have no relevance to one another.  The story becomes awkward to the degree where a feeling of confusion grabs the audience.  However, it becomes apparent that everything is interconnected as the conversations and  the story continue.  13 Conversations About One Thing is a delicate experience about several characters search for happiness in daily life.  These characters are supported by a terrific cast that carries the story with a intriguing script, which has been directed with an insightful hand.
