Film Description

Oscar-nominated adaptation of Nathanael West's satire set in the 1930s about the lure of Hollywood stardom and the life of the losers in the glamour parade.

Idealistic young set designer Tod Hackett (William Atherton) travels to 1930s-era Hollywood to find fame and fortune but encounters a dismal world of broken people, shattered dreams, and phoney healers pandering to the lost. He soon falls in love with aspiring actress Faye Greener (Karen Black), a cruel, manipulative woman who lives with her drunken father (Burgess Meredith, in an Oscar-nominated performance) and loves the strange man-child Homer Simpson (Donald Sutherland). Their passions collide at a disastrous Hollywood première that remains one of the most horrifying, disturbing and tragic climaxes in film history.
