Synopsis:

A filmmaker tries to sort out the scattered emotional baggage of his love life in Entropy. Jake Walsh (Stephen Dorff) is a film director who attends a fashion show with some friends and meets a French model named Stella (Judith Godreche). The attraction between the two is immediate, and after a brief courtship they're living together. However, between his career in film and her career as a model, they don't spend as much time together as they'd like, and they begin to drift apart; when Stella one day announces she's pregnant, Jake displays no particular enthusiasm for the idea of raising a child, and Stella ends up having an abortion. Eventually, the two break up and Jake finds himself married to a woman he barely knows, not quite sure what happened. As he muddles through his romantic problems, Jake also has to deal with the often puzzling hierarchy and the bizarre office politics of Hollywood. A rare independent effort from Phil Joanou, who previously directed State of Grace, Final Analysis and a wealth of popular music videos, Entropy was the opening night attraction at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.

Romantic drama. Jake Walsh, a film-maker, relates the story of his life, and in particular the romantic side of it. After a sudden marriage to Pia, a young woman he had met the previous night, Jake meets a French model, Stella, at a fashion show. He falls in love with her and eventually shares an apartment with her. Events however take a dramatic turn when Stella becomes pregnant and, due mainly to indifference on Jake's part, undergoes an abortion.

A filmmaker's life unravels as he directs a documentary of the Irish rock band U2, during the course of their world tour. The filmmaker is in love with a woman in Paris, but during a drunken night marries another woman in Las Vegas. His true love learns of his marriage to another woman, when a video of the wedding is played back on a 400-foot screen during a U2 stadium concert.
