Duane Incarnate
World Premiere

Duane Incarnate

| USA | 88 MINUTES | English

In the strange concrete jungle of Manhattan, where romantic Darwinism dictates that the beautiful people attract their own kind, what happens when an Adonis pairs up with a dowdy loser? Hal Salwen's comedy Duane Incarnate probes that question. Gwen, Connie, and Fran are three women living in New York with good careers and, even better, good bordering on near-perfect relationships. And then there is Wanda, the black sheep of the group -- unemployed, unattached, unstylish, and pretty much un-fun. But one day at their favorite watering hole, Wanda divulges that she is in love with the perfect man, Duane. The others immediately wonder if Duane really exists. Tired of the constant nagging, Wanda agrees to have Duane meet her friends -- and their jaws hit the floor when they see the perfect man with their own eyes. He's not just sexy, either. He likes to give rather than receive in bed, is a terrific dancer, is sensitive, and has a good job. Suddenly his perfect existence calls into question the catty friends' near-perfect lives. This smart comedy features an ensemble cast of women who light up the screen, bolstering Salwen's sharp writing and magical realist story to another level.
