You may have already seen ads for this; rottentomatoes has it plastered all over the site right now. It looks like a traditional movie, but it's actually a collection of short films, all fully available on the Internet, that tell a serialized story about an author trying to write a book. I found it to be absolutely incredible, in writing and acting, and I wish there was more to it.
It is actually two different stories: the story of the book itself, a very absurdist thing about two brothers, called The Neverything; and the story of the author writing the book with the help of her former teacher, called Lovely By Surprise. The really weird part is that both stories are tied up in some kind of Lincoln Mercury ad campaign, but I can't imagine that this kind of thing is going to sell cars--it's too literate, too weird, and for some reason virtually devoid of cars. The major ad site is the one for The Neverything, and I haven't watched all of it because the site itself annoyed me. Lovely By Surprise, on the other hand, is astonishingly good, and very low key, and I highly recommend it:

My first bit of advice is to skip the trailer--it gives away too much. The second bit of advice is how to watch them: this page links to chapter 5, which has three films, but there are four other chapters in the background, which you can link to by clicking on them. This is the only page I can find that links to all five chapters, so you'll just have to click chapter 1, watch them, then go back to 5, click chapter 2, etc. It's annoying, but I thought the film was worth the trouble. The first few films are ridiculously short, but after number 4 or 5 (there are 13 in all) they get longer.
I'm very interested to see what you guys think of the story. I was really impressed, and actually kind of sad to see talent like this wasted in some kind of inexplicable ad campaign.
