It has been a good little while since Zach Braff turned heads by making the jump from TV actor to multi-hyphenate writer-director-star of indie hit Garden State. Braff has been surprisingly quiet since but he'll be turning heads in Toronto this year, playing an entirely different sort of character in Deborah Chow's The High Cost of Living.
The dark - you might even say bleak - drama casts Braff as a drunk driver who runs down a heavily pregnant young woman. Panicking, he drives off, leaving her in the street and though she survives the ordeal, her unborn baby does not, though due to the trauma the doctor's are unable to induce birth and the woman is forced to continuing carrying the child she knows is dead inside of her. Stricken by guilt, Braff looks her up when sober and, without revealing his true identity, strikes up a relationship with her.
