'Harry and Max'
![In recent years Christopher Munch has emerged as one of the most distinctive American independent filmmakers. He created a splash with his 60-minute dramatic vignette "The Hours and Times" (1992), in which he sensitively speculated what might have occurred between John Lennon and the Beatles' gay manager, Brian Epstein, during a brief interlude in Barcelona in 1963. He followed that with the feature-length "Color of a Brisk and Leaping Day" (1997), a remarkably evocative account of the struggle to bring rail travel to Yosemite, and then "The Sleepy Time Gal" (2001), in which Jacqueline Bisset gives the performance of a lifetime as a dying woman longing for contact with the daughter she gave up at birth — and having no way of knowing that the daughter (Martha Plimpton) similarly yearns to discover the identity of her birth mother.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-03/16845428.jpg "In recent years Christopher Munch has emerged as one of the most distinctive American independent filmmakers.
