...desperation only to his cruelly indifferent manager (the aforementioned Levy). The rest of the time Miller's a model of modesty and good nature. Or consider Guest himself, playing Purim's director. He appears to be a serious and dedicated artist. But he will compromise his "vision" when anyone - actor, producer, studio chief, cameraman - challenges his ideas and threatens his low-budget schedule. As for Marilyn Hack, she plays the solid pro, pretending a sort of gracious indifference to the completely manufactured buzz surrounding her. But by the end of the film she has undergone a complete makeover...
...premise: A brittle and conniving Hollywood agent (Julie White) is trying to land a big movie project for her hot actor client, while keeping under wraps the fact that he "has a slight recurring case of homosexuality."

Greg Kinnear (“Little Miss Sunshine”) portrays the head of marketing of Mickey’s, an imaginary fast food chain. He is onscreen...
...Brattle, see “High and Low.” It’s more accessible than other Kurosawa pictures and discusses the human capacity for compassion in terms that will resonate with modern audiences.After releasing a spate of mostly excellent samurai flicks starring fearless Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, Kurosawa snuck in “High and Low,” a challenging work that raised questions of morality through the stark, visceral imagism of his earlier works “Rashomon” and “Ikiru.”The film revolves around a misunderstanding...
