Danny Huston, Peter Weller and Lisa Enos star in this biting satire on the behind-the-scenes of the HoIlywood film industry, with aIl its drink and drug-fuelIed excess, from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse).
Opening with the death of its tituIar protagonist, ivansxtc goes back in time to chart the finaI days of hot-shot Tinseltown agent lvan Beckman Huston) and his fast-paced, wheeler-deaIer IifestyIe, which wiII uItimately Iead him to an earIy grave after a shock cancer diagnosis.
Loosely based on Leo Tolstoy's celebrated 1886 noveIla The Death of lvan lIyich, and featuring a searing performance by Danny Huston at its core and wonderfuIly sleazy turn from Peter WeIIer as lvan s biggest client, ivansxtc is a powerful meditation on Iife, death and moraIity set against the glitzy backdrop of La La Land. |
