Directed by David Cronenberg
(18A)

Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson star in this acidulous vision of Tinseltown from Canadian master David Cronenberg.

Working from a wicked script by novelist Bruce Wagner, acclaimed director David Cronenberg strips Tinseltown bare in this fiendish and fiercely intelligent satire of the movie business. Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore) is a desperate and insecure middle-aged actress scheming remorselessly to land the lead in a remake of a film her mother starred in years ago. She divulges a flood of inner fears and childhood traumas to her therapist (John Cusack), a TV psychologist and self-help guru with troubles of his own, including a teenaged movie-megastar son whose career is already threatened by his out-of-control ego and drug problems. To this ensemble of eccentrics add Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), a pyromaniac who gets hired as Havana's assistant based on a Twitter friendship with Carrie Fisher (playing herself ); Jerome (Robert Pattinson), a limo driver, struggling actor and aspiring screenwriter; and various wives, agents, and phantoms who stroll periodically through the carnage. Gleefully dissecting a milieu driven by all the wrong values, Maps to the Stars is another outrageous, disturbing new work from a contemporary master.
