Goldfish Memory (DVD)

A hip romantic comedy that unfolds among the young metrosexuals of Dublin, this is a smart and insightful look at the endless cycle of love. At the center is a professor who seduces an ever-fluctuating string of students, using a line about the three-second memory of a goldfish as a metaphor for our very human tendency to repeat our mistakes in love. As the ensemble cast of characters continuously tries to figure out what it is they really want in life and love--and this varies considerably for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexuals represented--the one conclusion they all reach is that love--and sex--is one thing they can't live without. The good-looking cast of this sex-positive indie delivers a life-affirming, warmhearted message, while the cinematography casts Dublin itself in a very attractive light.
