The Dying Gaul

As an act of sinister staging, the movie proves Craig Lucas to be a born filmmaker.

...played by Peter Sarsgaard, in a sincere and inward role a little unusual for him.

...for a story that takes place in chilly, Philadelphia-era Hollywood, it's at least plugged in to the politics of the time.

With humor and rage fighting for dominance, debuting director Craig Lucas drives a stake into the dark heart of Hollywood.

Portraying the complex human emotions of bereavement, guilt and vengefulness without reverting to cliches, Lucas' film aims high in its seeming goal to challenge audience expectations.
