MontBlanc (Aris Servetalis) leads a group of people who offer a peculiar service: the replacement of departed loved ones. Imitating hairstyle and favorite quotes is normal, though some in his group go so far as to re-enact more private events. Kino Lorber hide caption

It's a jarring moment barely lingered on, but the darkness in that threat inhabits the rest of the film, an impressively taut absurdist drama that's deliberate in its exploration of the value and limits of compassion.


They call themselves Alps, and, for a fee, they will work, at your direction, to approximate the clothing, hairstyle and even the mannerisms of someone you've lost, be it a grandchild, husband or girlfriend. Give them lines of dialogue, and they will re-enact with you the most treasured memories of your lost loved one.


Don't you wish the fight between the two of you had ended differently? You can experience it again, and rewrite it. Or maybe it's the small moments you miss: the nothing conversations, the goodbye you used to hear in the morning. The Alps offer that, too.


Who could possibly want this? Enough people that Alps has a healthy client register. Between the paramedic (Aris Servetalis), an intense man in his mid-30s and leader of the group who takes on the alias Mont Blanc, and the nurse (Aggeliki Papoulia), an isolated woman in her 30s at the center of the film, their jobs provide enough access to the dying and vulnerable that they know who's on their way out and when to move in.


Repugnant though the opportunism may be, Monte Rosa seems to act out of true sympathy. Then, as each relationship in her life betrays itself as just another job, it becomes clear she's seeking connection by any means available. Risking the wrath of Mont Blanc, she starts taking on substitute work outside of the Alps; even if the relationship is fake, it's hers alone.


Monte Rosa isn't the only one who blurs the lines of the client-substitute relationship, or at least uses it for something other than grief therapy. The gymnastics coach doesn't mind that the widow whose husband he has replaced likes to make out with him, and, unhealthy though it may be, he's willing to re-enact for her the time she caught her husband in bed with another woman.


Anchored to Monte Rosa's perspective, the film answers bleakly that you need someone to love before you can replace him. Her clients may forget temporarily the value and joy of authentic relationships, but as someone living an entirely fictional life, Monte Rosa can see clearly what she doesn't have. Her desperate attempts to hang on to even a semblance of a genuine connection reinforce that nothing is more painful than being on the outside looking in.


Darrell was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Beverly Tyree, and a loving father to his sons, Jeff and Jon Tyree. He found immense joy and pride in his role as a grandfather to Ryann, Blakely, Coleman, and Dylan. Darrell's family meant the world to him, and he cherished every moment spent in their company. He also welcomed daughters-in-law Amber and Kate Tyree into his family with open arms.


Though Darrell may have departed this world, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. His legacy of love, laughter, and friendship will continue to inspire and uplift those who were fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him.


This section would amend the existing high-speed rail corridor planning program authority found at 49 U.S.C. 26101 to expand the list of eligible corridor planning activities that the Secretary would be authorized to fund, to include corridor planning related to the implementation of an effective and efficient system of conventional speed intercity rail passenger operations. This amendment would provide the Secretary with additional flexibility to assist State and local governments in planning the optimum improvements for each rail corridor. In some corridors, the optimum investments would be in high-speed rail improvements and in other corridors the optimum investments would be conventional rail improvements.


Section 7102 would reauthorize existing high-speed rail corridor planning and rail technology improvement programs for fiscal years 2004 through 2009. The corridor planning component of the program and the technology improvement program would each be authorized in the amount of $25 million for each year. The corridor planning program would retain the current fifty percent matching requirement, which helps ensure State and local support of the planning process.


Section 7201 would correct provisions of title 49, United States Code, that mistakenly refer to the former Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) rather than the successor Surface Transportation Board (STB). In some cases, the provision or reference can be deleted entirely as obsolete because the ICC's statutory responsibility has been transferred to another agency.


Subsection (b) would delete 49 U.S.C. 307 (Safety information and intervention in ICC proceedings) from the Code as obsolete. Section 307 addresses DOT's role in ICC freight forwarder and other motor carrier licensing proceedings. The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-88; Dec. 29, 1995) (ICCTA) transferred the responsibility for licensing these activities to DOT itself (see, e.g., 49 U.S.C. 13903). DOT already reviews the safety compliance record of license applicants under its jurisdiction, and specific statutory authority to provide itself with safety information is unnecessary.


Subsection (e) would revise the structure of section 13541(a) to resolve a logical inconsistency in the language and thereby conform to the intent of Congress. As the current language stands, an exemption under 13541(a) is allowed only if the STB (or the STB Chairman) can find that the application of the provision in question to the particular case "is in the public interest" (see section 13541(a)(3)). In fact, the STB must find that the exemption from the application of the provision is in the public interest, or the subsection has no meaning. The proposed modification would revise the language of the subsection to give it the latter meaning.


This section would modify the definition of "commerce" in chapter 51 of title 49 to provide jurisdiction over hazardous materials activities being conducted on a U.S.-registered aircraft anywhere in the world. Currently, DOT does not have clear authority over U.S.-registered aircraft carrying hazardous materials between two foreign points. Such jurisdiction would parallel U.S. and DOT jurisdiction over other safety aspects of those same flights. Assertion and exercise of that jurisdiction over U.S.-registered aircraft is necessary for the United States to carry out its obligations under the Chicago Convention.


The purpose of this proposed provision is to clarify that DOT has the authority, under Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5127), to regulate hazardous materials transportation conducted on all U.S.-registered aircraft.


This section would enhance the scope of the Secretary's regulatory authority by amending section 5103(b)(1)(A) of title 49 to add that persons who prepare, accept, or reject hazardous materials for transportation in commerce, persons who are responsible for the safety of transporting hazardous materials in commerce, persons who certify compliance with any requirement issued under chapter 51, persons who misrepresent whether they are engaged in a function listed under 5103(b)(1)(A), and persons who perform any other act or function relating to the transportation of a hazardous material in commerce are subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The application to "rejection" situations is necessary to address training requirements for those carriers, especially air carriers, who do not carry hazardous material and should be required to train their employees on how to identify and reject hazardous materials for transportation in commerce. The current law does not require training for carriers that do not carry hazardous materials or cause the transportation of hazardous materials. However, if a carrier does not train its employees to reject hazardous materials, it may unwittingly become a carrier of hazardous materials and subject to the training rules. Expansion of the law to cover rejection of hazardous materials is necessary to ensure compliance with the regulations by preventing the improper transportation of hazardous materials and, thus, enhance safety.


The application to persons who prepare or accept hazardous materials is necessary to clarify that non-shipper personnel who prepare hazardous materials for transportation on behalf of a shipper (e.g., freight forwarders) and non-carrier personnel who accept hazardous materials for transportation on behalf of a carrier (e.g., a broker, agent, or freight forwarder) are subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations, including training requirements. The proposed amendment would also ensure that persons who are responsible for compliance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations are subject to the regulations. Including persons who certify compliance with any requirement issued under chapter 51 would ensure that the person has the knowledge necessary to accurately certify that the requirement has been met. In addition, this section would clarify that persons who misrepresent whether they are engaged in a regulated activity, such as transporting hazardous materials in commerce, are subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations, including the civil penalty and criminal penalty provisions for violations of them. Finally, this section would ensure that persons who perform any other act or function relating to the transportation of a hazardous material are subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations and the civil penalty and criminal penalty provisions applicable to them.


The purpose of this proposed provision is to clarify and expand the list of persons subject to the requirements of Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101-5127, and the Hazardous Materials Regulations, 49 C.F.R. Parts 171-180.
