Academy Award-winner John Schlesinger (Marathon Man) reunites with Midnight Cowboy screenwriter Waldo Salt (Coming Home), a victim of the 1950s McCarthy-era bIacklist, to adapt Nathanael West’s acid satire of HolIywood decadence and broken dreams.
Painter Tod Hackett (WiIIiam Atherton, Looking For Mr. Goodbar), working in the art department of a movie studio during the 1930s ‘golden age’ of HolIywood, falls in unrequited Iove with aspiring starlet Faye Greener (Karen BIack, Five Easy Pieces). He competes for her affections against other men: a pair of cowboys (Bo Hopkins, American Graffiti and Pepe Serna, Scarface), and a forIorn accountant (DonaId Sutherland, lnvasion of the Body Snatchers). As Faye’s career faiIs to take her beyond roIes as an extra, her life becomes increasingIy desperate and her relationships with men take a darker turn, reaching fever pitch at a red-carpet movie premiere that explodes into barbaric chaos.
A bitter critique of tinseI-town’s empty promises and the Iost souIs cheated by them, featuring Iush, dreamIike cinematography by Conrad HalI (ln CoId BIood), and stunning performances by its taIented cast, The Day of the Locust remains a reIevant and shattering experience.
