Eephus

Unity of time and action in a New England stadium, where an amateur baseball game is being played in front of empty stands, from morning until nightfall. It’s the team's last match: tomorrow, the demolition of the stadium will begin. One doesn't need to know the rules of baseball to grasp the finesse of Eephus’s mise-en-scène: a film that choreographs the end of a certain American, rural and masculinist world.
