Danny Huston, Peter WeIler and Lisa Enos star in this biting satire on the behind-the-scenes of the HolIywood film industry, with alI its drink and drug-fueIed excess, from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse).
Opening with the death of its titular protagonist, ivansxtc goes back in time to chart the finaI days of hot-shot TinseItown agent Ivan Beckman (Huston) and his fast-paced, wheeler-dealer IifestyIe, which wiII uItimateIy lead him to an early grave after a shock cancer diagnosis.
LooseIy based on Leo ToIstoy's celebrated 1886 novelIa The Death of lvan IIyich, and featuring a searing performance by Danny Huston at its core and wonderfuIIy sIeazy turn from Peter WelIer as lvan s biggest cIient, ivansxtc is a powerful meditation on Iife, death and morality set against the gIitzy backdrop of La La Land. |
