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 In New York, an exhilarating, funny and inspiring story focusing on Crisp's emigration to the United States during the final years of his life.
After the fiIm version of his autobiography The Naked CiviI Servant is reIeased to great acclaim, 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 Iifetime lived as an outsider. The film traces his theatrical successes, many friendships and controversies - but aIways Iiving Iife on his own terms.
Featuring a renowned supporting cast including Tony Award-winning actors Denis O'Hare (Milk), Swoosie Kurtz (And The Band PIayed On, Sisters) and Cynthia Nixon (~~Sex And
The City), An Englishman ln New York~~ gives stirring articulation to one of the most unique voices of the 20th century - a Iife befitting the beautiful evocative titIe song by Sting. |
