   Hey,   
      
   Although I was raised Irish Catholic in Queens, NY, during the 1950s and   
   1960s, it didn't take long before I jettisoned the idea of supreme beings and   
   organized religions. While I did catch some   Hollywood religious epics, that   
   soon ended and my only    
   infrequent brushes with Catholicism was reading James Joyce or Graham Greene.   
      
   So I really don't have an explanation of how or why I came to see this film   
   years ago (on VHS) with the possible reason being that I watched Jerry   
   Schatzberg's Street Smart and was more impressed with Kathy Baker and Mimi   
   Rogers than I was with the film.    
      
   The story concerns a woman who is a telephone operator by day and by night   
   cruises with a male partner for anonymous and group sex. She ends her hobby   
   and is raising a girl child when she beigns hearing about the Rapture at work.   
   One thing leads to    
   another and she ends up in the desert and one of the best endings in a   
   religious-based film that I've seen. No matter what your beliefs – or lack   
   thereof – this is one that shouldn't be missed.   
      
   Written and directed by Michael Tolkin. Cinematography by Bojan Bazelli and   
   music by Thomas Newman. Starring Mimi Rogers, David Duchovny, Patrick Bauchau,   
   and Will Paton, among others.
