Interview, July, 2000 by Graham Fuller
Directed by Alan Rudolph
The eponymous heroine of Rudolph's latest comic thriller is a casino security guard turned gumshoe who stumbles on a porn racket and a political cover-up involving corrupt senator Nick Nolte. As played by Emily Watson, she's a sexually repressed, metaphor-mixing sweetheart with more pluck than brains. Though likably eccentric, Trixie is a screwball comedy one minute and a serpentine soft-boiled noir the next. Some may find its mood swings hard to stomach, not least because Nolte serves up a huge slice of ham. There's gentleman's relish on hand, however: Brittany Murphy as a floozy straight out of Chandler.
