Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

1993年11月18日，Nirvana应邀为MTV制作Unplugged演唱会。乐队三个成员极少有地坐在凳子上，穿着干净整齐，演出了一场比他们想象中感觉要好的演唱会。"我们演出前一天还在讨论会不会坐在那里象傻子那样，可是当摄影镜头慢慢摇过来的时候，感觉突然好起来了。""你知道，这种演唱会按道理来说不会好到那里去的，我意思是说，我们根本就觉得讨厌，可是结果还挺让我们满意，我们很惊奇地感到愉快。。。一个月后， MTV在全美播出这场演唱会。之后，他们又赴欧洲巡演。但在罗马期间，Cobain又萌生了自杀的念头，人们还发现了他写好的遗书。1994年3月1日， Nirvana在德国慕尼黑的演出成为乐队最后的一次公开表演。回国后，Cobain被强制送往康复中心戒毒。但仅过了两天，他便成功地从医院逃脱。 1994年4月5日，Kurt Cobain开枪自杀。3天后，一个电工在工作时发现了Kurt Cobain的尸体，尸体身边带有一封遗书。在葬礼上，遗孀Courtney当众口述了此遗书。1994年11月，Nirvana在MTV演出的录音作为专集『Unplugged in New York』发行。这档电视节目录制于11月份，5个月后MTV台开始反复播放它，那时柯本刚刚自杀身亡。今天看来正是涅盘乐队改变了不插电演出的模式与风格，在当时给乐迷以巨大影响，并引发了一场录制不插电专辑的风潮。“如果你要问是什么导致了我们的那一场表演满布愁云”，帕特．斯密尔说，“那么我只能告诉你，是恐惧的原因。我们从未想过在那样一个地方演出，我们太紧张了。”这场演出避开了他们的流行金曲《少年心气》，翻唱了六首歌曲，还请了嘉宾出席，所有MTV台的俗套都没有免除。从乐队的神情上可以看出他们当时很紧张，然而音乐拯救了他们，当他们专注于表演的时候，紧张感被清除了。节目制片人说：“我们请乐队的其他队员都做了必要的演讲来介绍个人情况，唯独柯本没有，他一直在躲闪。后来我们就不再勉强他了。我们明白，他有自己的表达方式和态度。不过后来，柯本让我们为他拍了一个他微笑着的镜头，我想这个微笑里，他给我们留下了某个提示。5个月后，他就离开了我们。”
