About this product
American screenwriter Dan Gillis (Jeff Goldblum), based in Paris and reeling from a recent separation, receives a commission from producer Julien Legrand (Daniel Ceccaldi) to collaborate with ambitious young director Malcolm Greene (Dexter Fletcher).

Beautifully shot by José Luis Alcaine (The Skin I Live In), the film masterfully crafts the darkest side of Paris and the film industry, featuring an international cast that includes Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park), Miranda Richardson (Damage), Dexter Fletcher (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), and Liza Walker (Hackers).
