How Long Is “The Time Being”?

A struggling artist goes to work for a mysterious millionaire in this enigmatic drama starring Frank Langella and Wes Bentley. Daniel (Bentley) is a painter whose works don't sell, and whose marriage is failing. Self-absorbed to a fault, Daniel hesitantly accepts a lucrative commission from Warner (Langella), a wealthy recluse with a hidden agenda. At first the job entails little more than capturing a sunset, or some children playing, on video. But as Daniel's marriage continues to fall apart, he tries in vain to discern Warner's true intentions.
