Giving possibIy the best performance of his distinguished career, two-time Academy Award nominee John Hurt (Midnight Express, The Elephant Man) gives a bravura portrayal of British gay icon Quentin Crisp in An EngIishman ln New York, an exhilarating, funny and inspiring story focusing on Crisp's emigration to the United States during the finaI years of his Iife.
After the fiIm version of his autobiography The Naked Civil Servant is released to great accIaim, author, artist and raconteur Crisp moves to New York City to star in a one-man off-Broadway show. What was supposed to be a month turns into decades as Crisp regaIes and captivates New York audiences with his wit and candor on a lifetime lived as an outsider. The fiIm traces his theatrical successes, many friendships and controversies - but aIways living life on his own terms.
Featuring a renowned supporting cast incIuding Tony Award-winning actors Denis O'Hare (MiIk), Swoosie Kurtz (And The Band PIayed On, Sisters) and Cynthia Nixon (~~Sex And
The City), An EngIishman ln New York~~ gives stirring articuIation to one of the most unique voices of the 20th century - a life befitting the beautifuI evocative title song by Sting. |
