Map To The Stars
Cast: Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson
Director: David Cronenberg
Rated: MA
Running Time: 111 minutes
With this tale of a dysfunctional Hollywood family on the verge of implosion, acclaimed director David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, The Fly) forges a brilliant, scathing and darkly comic satire of our celebrity-obsessed culture, starring Julianne Moore (Magnolia), Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre), John Cusack (High Fidelity) and Robert Pattinson (Cosmopolis).
The Weiss family is making their way in a sun-soaked Los Angeles, driven by all the wrong values and rife with money, dreams, fame, envy, yearning and angst. We witness the desperate world of shallow celebrities and their minions, all of whom are about to be manipulated and destroyed by one of their twisted own. As much as it is a sharp, wicked look at a vacant and corrupt society, Maps to the Stars is also a very human ghost story and a claustrophobic nightmare.
