EDITOR'S PICK
Joe Scott (Daniel Craig) is a washed up Hollywood star, whose
hedonistic lifestyle of sex, drugs, and celebrity has taken its toll. Handsome
even in his drug-addled 40s, he leads a directionless, lonely life in his
opulent Malibu mansion whilst outside the tide of public opinion has turned
firmly against him. Only when confronted by tragedy is he forced to face up to
the ghosts of his past.
Flashback to 1970`s England and small town life set to the beat of Roxy Music
and Bowie. Joe`s rites of a passage as a young man (Harry Eden) in a tiny
British seaside community lay the foundations for the Hollywood dream he goes on
to experience. His budding sexuality, his boyhood camaraderie, the untoward
advances of a voluptuous older woman, and his teenage actions lead to
unforeseen, tragic consequences, which will ultimately force him to flee in
search of a new life.
