Rubber Carpet is a 1997 black and white Canadian film directed by John May and starring Jonathan Wilson and Jude Coffey.[1] It received acclaim from audiences at film festivals (such as the Leeds International Film Festival)[citation needed] but failed to find a distribution company. It was filmed in Toronto, Ontario for a very small budget (approximately $10,000 CDN)[citation needed] and released in April, 1997.

Plot[edit]

Ansel (Wilson) is a wanna-be artist, full-time dishwasher who isn't nearly as good a painter as he thinks he is. When he quits his menial but stable job to pursue his art career, his girlfriend Tallulah (Coffey) is furious. They break up and Ansel spends his days creating horrible art (like a puck floating in urine) and trying to earn government grants.

Meanwhile, Talluah is being driven crazy by her upstairs neighbour who constantly plays Eric Clapton's "Layla" at a loud volume. Banadek (Richard Sali) is Ansel's former co-worker and dishwasher. He spends the course of the film talking about the process of dishwashing. To him it is a religious experience.

The film consists of the two main characters discussing their breakup in monologue, mixed with scenes of the two going through typical post-break up rituals, like giving back each other's possessions. Eventually, they come to a realization about themselves, and their roles in each other lives.
