Nothing is a 2003 Canadian movie directed by Vincenzo Natali starring David Hewlett and Andrew Miller, based on a story written by the three of them.
The film tells the story of two good friends who live together, Andrew (Andrew Miller), an agoraphobic travel agent who works from his home, and Dave (David Hewlett), a loser who works in an office where he is treated with contempt. Just when it seems things can't get any worse for the two, the entire world outside of their house disappears and is replaced with an endless white void.
Nothing was directed by the same director as Cube and stars two of the actors from that film. Rather than dealing with the claustrophobic effects of being trapped in a prison-puzzle such as the "cube", Nothing deals with two men wrestling with the claustrophobia of the absolute freedom of an apparently endless world devoid of anything except themselves, their house, and their own minds. As in Cube, this world of nothingness soon produces its own problems, paranoia, and competition between the two. Rich, like the Cube series, in philosophic themes, Nothing is essentially two acts: the noisy, frustrating, treacherous, backstabbing world before the nothingness, and then Andrew and Dave's life adapting to their newfound nothingness. There is a strong note of misogyny, or at least a distrust in women, in that the film's two main male characters are both set up for crimes they didn't commit by women (in the first "act" of the film). However, rather than becoming further bonded, Andrew and Dave soon turn on each other in what amounts to a dark, pessimistic, if not evocative film.
