Novocaine DVD Summary
In this darkly comic film noir from writer/director
David Atkins
,
Steve Martin
revisits dentistry -- an occupation he'd explored 15 years prior, in the camp musical
Little Shop of Horrors
.
Novocaine
casts
Martin
as a much more mild-mannered D.
D.
S.
,
Dr.
Frank Sangster
.
Engaged to a prim and delicate hygienist,
Jean
(
Laura Dern
),
Sangster
leads a placid, upper-middle class existence, save for the occasional visit from his deadbeat artist brother
Harlan
(
Elias Koteas
).
But
Sangster
finds his life turned inside out from the moment the alluring
Susan
(
Helena Bonham Carter
) plops down in his reclining vinyl chair: Complaining about her molars, she's really more interested in the refrigerator of narcotics the good dentist keeps on hand for his patients in pain.
Once they manage to get
Sangster
's guard down,
Susan
and her brother (
Scott Caan
) rob him blind -- and worse yet, frame him for the theft.
When a dead body turns up in
Sangster
's sleek suburban home, he finds that clearing his name will be a difficult proposition indeed.
Novocaine
marks the directorial debut of screenwriter
Atkins
, who first made his mark with the script for
Emir Kusturica
's oddball cult favorite
Arizona Dream
(1993).
