social and professional anxieties,
both his terror at failing to impress
the one woman in town who treats
him like a regular human and his
fears that his career may be hitting
a dead end.
Pinkney the actor delivers a like-
able turn as the put upon Mike,
who can’t even cross the road
without falling in dog shit. As his
unlikely love interest, Kinski has
all the enigmatic eroticism of her
mother. Her Cora is one of those
crazy beautiful women who in
‘80s movies were always grabbing
nebbishy young men by the hand
and leading them into a world of
danger and thrills, like Rosanna
Arquette in After Hours, Michelle
Pfeiffer in Into the Night or
Melanie Griffith in Something Wild.
But again, the stakes are far lower
here, and the biggest adventure
Cora takes Mike on is breaking into
a house to return a lost dog and
perusing the owner’s oddly animal
themed DVD collection.
