AUGUST is the story of two brothers, Tom and Joshua Sterling (Josh Hartnett and Adam Scott) whose Internet start-up, Landshark, is as hot as a New York City summer - only this is the summer of 2001, their company is in lock up, its stock price is plunging and, in a few weeks, the world will change forever.But right now Tom is living the hedonistic life of an Internet star, the kind we of guy we might have seen profiled on 60 Minutes II: he dates multiple women, drives a bitchin' '69 Camaro convertible and hangs out at a new club called Bungalow 8. But, like an emo version of Patrick Bateman, it somehow never seems to matter that Tom is not quite able to explain what his company actually does.

A compelling film. Brilliant cinematography. In exploring the relationship between two brothers, their parents, and an ex girlfriend Austin Chick offers insights into our frail and lopsided economy, our warped values, our quest for community that we so often thwart, and our difficulty being really honest with ourselves and with those around us. Why this film hasn't gotten more visibility and broader distribution I don't understand.
