Friends & Lovers
1999 · Film · 103 min
Directed by George Haas
Friends for ten years, a group of twenty-somethings head for the ski slopes as guests of Ian's father. (Ian and dad are estranged because dad worked too many hours when Ian was a lad.) Dad has something to say, but Ian won't listen. Meanwhile, David is gay and virginal; Ian's business partner, Keaton, is unhappy that his sister Jane is pregnant with no plans to tell the father; Lisa is everybody's pal and no one's lover; John, stuck in adolescence, is always on the make. He brings German-born stunner, Carla, and promptly loses her affection to Hans, a fast-talking ski instructor. David meets Manny: they have chess in common. Soon, surprises abound as relationships take new turns.

He really had a way with one-liners. I'll miss that.
"No matter what they’re charging to get in, it’s worth more to get out."
"Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."
"If I ever do a festival of films that deserve to be overlooked, Friends & Lovers is my opening night selection."
"It is hopelessly incompetent… I am not certain that anyone involved has ever seen a movie, or knows what one is."
