If David Cronenberg's last film, COSMOPOLIS, didn't do the trick for you, then perhaps MAPS TO THE STARS will. The film focuses on a mostly loathsome set of characters who embody Hollywood archetypes with that Cronenberg touch. While the film is making the rounds at this year's TIFF, a new trailer has hit the world wide web (people still call it that, right?) to tingle your senses.
I'm pretty iffy on films based on/around Hollywood, but the director demands some attention, even if word on the street is that this flick is only marginally better than COSMOPOLIS (you can check out our review here). At the very least, Mia Wasikowska plays mysterious and quirky like no other and I'm sure Julianne Moore had a lot of fun hamming it up as an aging out-of-the-spotlight star.
MAPS TO THE STARS still has no limited or wide release scheduled, but you can catch it next at the New York Film Festival on September 27, 2014.
