Synopsis
Love Untangled
A lovestruck teen plans to win the school heartthrob by going from curly to straight hair — until a new transfer student changes everything.
Theory of Achievement
This short film was packaged on video with Hartley's featurette "Surviving Desire." It affectionately examines the lives of a group of "young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk" Brooklynites who would love to make something of their lives -- assuming they can pay the rent first.
