Cold Weather

"What the future of independent cinema might look like."—Film Comment

Showing in an exclusive weeklong Wex at Gateway engagement, Cold Weather is a delightfully fresh update of the detective movie genre. An aimless forensic science graduate moves back to his hometown of Portland, Oregon, to work in an ice factory, visit his sister, and feel sorry for himself. When his ex-girlfriend suddenly disappears, he springs into action and is able to put all the Sherlock Holmes novels that he's been reading to good use. The smart script by up-and-coming director Aaron Katz sets a classic mystery story within a realistic, mundane environment, and the result is a subtle exploration of friendship. (96 mins., video)
