From AICN, "I own this film in 16mm – and it’s one of my favorite films that most people I meet have never seen. I bought the film, when I realized it had Dave Bowman (2001) in it. His real name is Keir Dullea, and at the time – I’d never seen him in another film, besides Stanley Kubrick’s classic. That said, he’s absolutely brilliant in this film. In the very very sub-genre of INSTITUTIONAL LOVE films, this is my favorite, followed closely by Chan Wook Park’s I’M A CYBORG, BUT THAT’S OK. The film is truly a tale about broken people finding each other through their shattered pieces. It’s sweet and heart-aching… and the dialogue is so fucking good. Discover this film, it really is brilliant."

Anyone ever see David and Lisa?

Never heard of it. Just added it to my Netflix queue.
So did I!
Where's Jordan, I'm sure he's seen it?
Mike Cain and I saw a theatrical version of this as an entry in a one-act play contest. Our entry was way better.
All of the transitions were aided by the actors freezing, the stage lights going dark, and a loud clock ticking emitting from the speakers. Since they’d tweaked the play to fit into one act, they spent more time freezing in the ticking dark than anything else. In fact, that’s all I can remember about it.
I like “the very very sub-genre of INSTITUTIONAL LOVE films.”
I'm adding it to my list as well.
**Thanks**
