Lisa Cholodenko follows up her much-acclaimed 1997 debut High Art with this examination of a young couple seduced into a hedonistic, left-coast lifestyle.

Taking it's title from it's central locale, Laurel Canyon focuses on a pair of upper-middle class lovebirds from the East Coast who relocate to Los Angeles.

Freshly minted from Harvard, Sam and Alex are eager to continue their medical studies out West, but they need some lodging while they hunt for a home.

Enter Jane, Sam's estranged, Age-of-Aquarius, mom, who's more than willing to put the couple up in her lavish digs.

Jane is a successful record producer whose latest charge - both in the studio and in her bedroom - is Ian, a brazen, libidinous twentysomething Brit-rocker.

As Sam and Alex settle in at Jane's, they gradually lose their straight-and-narrow approach to life and begin to experiment.



Featuring a score by Shudder to Think's Craig Wedren; the music for Ian's band was provided by Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous and indie-rockers Folk Implosion.
