What a time for Hollywood to organize a party. Los Angeles always treats Donald Trump's recent wish to save the “DYING” American Business Film, and here Non-in -querA small upset drama of a night among Hollywoodians, tinged with glitter and panic. Production should at least meet the approval of the administration – it is entirely shot on the spot in Los Angeles, as the films were formerly in front of the exodus of city cinema.
But for the moment, the La La Rest Rest firmly in place. We soon meet a “photographer will have”. Upstairs, someone will make cocaine in the bathroom of a child's bathroom. But we first opened to palm trees, a pool so blue that David Hockney could have painted him – and a heavy sigh.
That said, the sigh comes from an actress at the mature age. As such, she does not work. Her name is pink (Elizabeth Reaser), and her agent husband, Sammy (Walton Goggins, recently The white lotus), invited a set of industry notables to its beautiful retro villa in the Hollywood hills. The night is clearly a big problem. Why is the subject of a Bruche Stemallé smarté train passed by the Nadia Conners meaning. Pedro Pascal plays a newly sober A-Lister; Rufus Sewell, director of the Ouvrière ankle.
There is also a surprise whole: an elderly confused woman (Smith laws) arrives at the doors who claim to have lived here when she was also a Hollywood star.
Nuances of Sunset boulevard? Of course. No one will ever define a film on filmmakers in these parties and not make you think of this classic without death, or Mulholland Drive Besides. Despite haunted glamor, however, Non-in -quer Play less like David Lynch than an evening at the theater. The framing is tight, the tempo live, the Peppy dialogue. In the midst of the appetizers and bombs of intrigue, you could even see a mystery of murder coming.
But no. The interior lives are the fabric of the film, the genre that we were asked to even imagine a Hollywood agent. Meanwhile, Rose appears as an accomplished host, an excellent wife and a mother, and deeply conflict on each life decision that she has ever taken.
Reaser makes an angry fine line buried. However, the atmosphere is really more ironic than rage. Like the party he depicts, the film seems to occur at the junction of the professional and the social. Outside screen, storks and goggins are married, and Pascal a friend. It is not surprising to learn that the house in which the film was shot (for less than $ 1 million) belongs to another boyfriend. As a model for the future of Hollywood, it can have limits.
Halfway, Sewell obtains a discourse on the Messianic role of directors in people's lives. In other words, these are types of tinseltown quite old-school so that Trump can recognize. But the film always looks like an elegy. Part of this comes from references to the left of the city and the dark visions of “storms to come”. But many is hidden at sight.
Long a career support player, Goggins now provides the power of the stars after a status bump through The white lotus And other success in streaming. Pascal can also play with plausible a film idol after more success in streaming in The last of us. “I'm still big,” said the famous line Sunset boulevard. “These are the photos that have become small.” All these years later, they are still only smaller.
