- DirectorNigel TommThis is 75 minutes and 6 seconds of pure blue screen. Nothing less and nothing more. New movie by Nigel Tomm demolishes the boundaries of new absurdism. In 1951, a novel 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J. D. Salinger was published. In 2008, a film 'The Catcher in the Rye' directed by Nigel Tomm was filmed. Intelligent. Eccentric and subversive. 'The Catcher in the Rye' by Nigel Tomm preserves and destroys, it lifts and anchors, it aids and hinders, it's convenient and frustrating. It has two sides. The most extravagant depths of your wildest imagination are packed in 75 minutes and 6 seconds of pure blue screen. Breathtaking.A blank screen.
