I Really Hate My Job

  • Though they may seem like hired help, the staff at this London eatery are far more than just waitresses--at least according to them. An actor, a writer, and even a revolutionary hide behind the aprons and bad attitudes of these young women. And when a Hollywood actor (Danny Huston) makes a reservation, it throws them into a hilarious frenzy of speculation and introspection. Neve Campbell, Shirley
Neve Campbell, Dominic Chianese and Fred Weller star in this smoldering erotic thriller about a femme fatale exploring the frightening reach of her sexual power - and the red-hot fusion of money, power and desire. Directed by James Toback, When Will I Be Loved is an "illumination of sexual and identity politics" (Slant Magazine) that sizzles and seduces.Neve Campbell is an arresting enigma in When Will I Be Loved, one of writer-director James Toback's most mysterious and successful minimalist ! dramas about sex, deception, and mutable identities in New York City. Campbell plays twentysomething beauty Vera, whose nude shower scene during the film's opening credits looks more like mythic preparation for a soon-to-be-fateful day than brazen exploitation. Ensconced in a fantastic loft paid for by her parents (Barry Primus, Karen Allen), the unemployed Vera embarks on an odyssey that begins with a mutually deceitful job interview with a college professor (Toback), leads to misadventures in questionable perception in Central Park, and climaxes with Vera's successful manipulation of two powerful men, one a craven lover (Fred Weller) and the other an Italian billionaire (Dominic Chianese) trying to get her in bed for a lot of money. Provocative as a good urban legend, the film sticks with one for a long time. --Tom Keogh
This biography tells the story of the woman behind the actress and describes how the Guelph native went from being one of the National Ballet ! School of Canada’s best young ballerinas to one of Hollywood! ’s mos t popular stars. It recounts in detail—through interviews with her associates and Neve’s own words—the circumstances that drove her to abruptly quit dance and turn her energies to acting. It goes on to explore the fierce ambition that drove her forward along each step of her near-meteoric rise, from her breakthrough part in the Canadian series Catwalk, to the move to Hollywood where she became part of the cast of the hit TV series Party of Five, and beyond to her roles in films such as The Craft, Scream, and Wild Things. Equal attention is paid to Campbell’s private life, including her self-professed insecurities, her difficulty adjusting to fame, and her short-lived marriage to Canadian actor Jeff Colt, a relationship that was certainly a victim of Neve’s success. But as Kathleen Tracy discovers, behind all these apparent weaknesses lies a steely will.
