Summary of Revolution #9
James Jackson (Michael Risley) is a handsome 27-year-old New Yorker suffering from an increasingly serious case of psychotic paranoia. He is presented in extreme close-up, with no room to breathe, by director Tim McCann, who keeps the intensity of REVOLUTION NO. 9 on a high level to its very last second. Jackson's fiancee, Kim Kelly (Adrienne Shelly), a perky blond waitress in a chic downtown bar, is so utterly in love with him despite his frightful mental deterioration, that she also seems crazy. In fact, much of the movie is a puzzle over who's really losing it--him, her, or both of them at once. It all begins when Jackson announces to Kim's family that they are engaged to be married. Kim's overprotective father and brother are outraged and fear for her safety. While this seems strange and unfair, Jackson's behavior the next day--accusing coworkers of moving things on his desk, blaming Kim's nephew for sending him cryptic coded e-mails, and insisting that he is the target of an elaborate experiment--is the proof that the family's instincts are right. From there, Jackson travels a wild downhill descent into madness, with Kim chasing along making bad decisions that only exacerbate the situation.
