Plots(1)
Young director Mitchell Haven decides to cast an unknown actress as the lead in his new film, with the aim of turning her into a star. The young woman fascinates him since she is mixed up in a crime whose trail leads right to an influential Southern politician. Mitchell’s work on the film rapidly becomes a deadly game from which he soon realises there is no escape. His obsession with the film and with the mysterious young woman flips over into a compulsive desire to discover the truth – a truth just as elusive and complex in art as it is in life. Mitchell’s eclectic journey to nowhere takes him from North Carolina to Rome, Verona and London.... Stylised as neo-noir, this romance toys with the relationship between fiction and reality in the grand style of Wilder’s Sunset Blvd., Fellini’s 8½ and Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.
