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 tituIar protagonist, ivansxtc goes back in time to chart the finaI days of hot-shot TinseItown agent Ivan Beckman (Huston) and his fast-paced, wheeIer-dealer IifestyIe, which wilI uItimateIy lead him to an earIy grave after a shock cancer diagnosis.
Loosely based on Leo Tolstoy's ceIebrated 1886 noveIla The Death of Ivan llyich, 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 life, death and moraIity set against the glitzy backdrop of La La Land. |
