We talked to Parker Posey about 'Price Check'

You might recall that Parker Posey starred in many of the biggest independent films of the 1990s, everything from "Waiting for Guffman" to "The House of Yes."

The 44-year-old was so productive that Time magazine proclaimed her the "Queen of the Indies," a designation she hates.

But there's a good reason for Posey's ubiquity: She's a gifted comic actress, with a knack for getting under the skin of her characters.

In "Price Check," she plays Susan Felders, a domineering boss brought in to run the New York office of a supermarket chain. It's a vibrant portrait of a woman who's both ridiculously over-the-top and an admirably high achiever.
