Heights is a 2004 film that follows a pivotal twenty-four hours in the interconnected lives of five New Yorkers. It stars Elizabeth Banks as Isabel, a photographer, James Marsden as Jonathon, a lawyer and Isabel's fiance, Glenn Close as Diana, Isabel's mother, Jesse Bradford as Alec, an actor, and John Light as Peter, a journalist.
Singer Rufus Wainwright appears in the film as Jeremy.
The film was one of the last produced by Ismail Merchant, and one of the first by the Merchant Ivory team to explore gay / same-sex themes. While there is no "requirement" for creative forces to put their own lives into their work, it is curious to note the absence of clearly gay characters in virtually all of his and his partner, James Ivory's, prior films.
