Laurel Canyon (Movie)Laurel Canyon is a 2002 American drama movie, written and directed by Lisa Cholodenko. Plot summary Sam and his fiance, Alex, are a newly engaged couple who move to Los Angeles to further their working careers. Sam is a recently graduated psychiatrist, starting his residency, while Alex is finishing her M.D.-Ph.D. dissertation on genomics. The relatively straight-laced, upwardly mobile couple plan to stay at the vacant home of Sam's mother, Jane, in the Laurel Canyon suburb of L.A. In a change of plans, however, Jane is still around, and the house is far from vacant. A free-spirited record producer, Jane is still working with Ian's band on their latest album. Jane and Ian are in the midst of a fiery romance, and both producer and band seem more interested in partying than finishing the record. Jane's presence is a source of consternation for Sam, as he and his mother have a somewhat strained relationship owing to their very different mindsets. Alex, however, is intrigued by the new lifestyle options presented by Jane and Ian; normally hardworking, she begins spending more time with the band and less time finishing her dissertation. Meanwhile, Sam finds himself attracted to fellow resident Sara, who is unapologetically interested in him as well. The situation strains Sam and Alex's relationship almost to the point of breaking. Tagline: On the road to the perfect life, Sam & Alex took a little detour. Brief cast External links
