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-fueled excess, from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse).
Opening with the death of its titular protagonist, ivansxtc goes back in time to chart the final 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.
LooseIy based on Leo ToIstoy's celebrated 1886 novella The Death of lvan Ilyich, and featuring a searing performance by Danny Huston at its core and wonderfulIy sIeazy turn from Peter WeIler as Ivan s biggest client, ivansxtc is a powerfuI meditation on Iife, death and morality set against the glitzy backdrop of La La Land. |
