Three Screenplays

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Three film scripts, including an Academy Award nominee, from the man described as an "Antonioni with a sense of humor" ( The New Yorker). From his earliest works to the Emmy-nominated Showtime limited series Escape at Dannemora, Michael Tolkin is known as one of the industry's biggest talents-and sharpest satirists. This volume contains three of his acclaimed screenplays. The Player, about the twisted world of Hollywood, was directed by Robert Altman and starred Tim Robbins and Greta Scacchi. It won an Edgar Award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay and has been hailed as "one of the smartest, funniest, most penetrating movies about moviemaking ever made" ( Vanity Fair). The Rapture explores the emotionally intense, surreal world of Christian fundamentalism. The Los Angeles Times called it "a nervy, unsettling, edgy piece of work, that most audacious of cinematic ventures, a film of theological ideas, intent on looking into what we believe and why we believe it, determined, even eager, to explore the issues of heaven, hell, and the hereafter." And The New Age tells the story of a young couple's fall from financial grace and their quest for spirituality in a world defined by materialism.
