| Description: |
In a house full of guests, Max - an Oscar-winning writer/director whose fame has waned - and his lover, Elena, share their stories of Hollywood past and present, their fears provoked by the Iraq war. They watch films in Max's luxury screening room and gossip by the swimming pool and tussle in the many bedrooms as the tension mounts and sparks fly. |
| Synopsis: |
On the morning after the 2003 Academy Awards, Max - an Oscar-winning writer/director whose fame has waned - and his lover, Elena, are in bed, still groggy from last night's red-carpet festivities. They are talking about movies, talking about love, talking about the just-begun war in Iraq. But their house full of guests demands attention. Gathered downstairs are: Max's ex-wife, 'the legendary Zoe Cunningham,' a dazzling half-Jamaican movie star; their strong-willed daughter, Isabel; Max's agent, Stoney, a too-easy-going version of his now-departed agent father; Paul, Zoe's new lover, an enigmatic healer; and a coterie of others. Over the next ten days they share their stories of Hollywood past and present, their fears provoked by the Iraq war; they watch films in Max's luxury screening room; they gossip by the swimming pool and tussle in the many bedrooms, as the tension mounts and sparks fly. |
