Amanti, primedonne Colonna sonora (1992)

Sinossi

Having had some stage success in New York prior to moving to the west coast, Marvin Landisman once had much promise as a writer/director in Hollywood, that is until "the incident" several years ago which still haunts him and his movie career, he having pedaled several scripts since without anyone showing interest.

He is now resorting to directing low budget instructional videos for clients he doesn't much like, and while his wife Rachel Landisman is currently back in New York to try and open a restaurant in her want for them to move back to the east coast where they had a happier life, he generally lives like a poor hermit.

So it is with some surprise that he receives a call from Jack Roth, a former studio producer, who wants to produce one of his earlier "post-incident" scripts, the somewhat depressing "The Darkness and the Light", it arguably the most personal of his scripts to him.

As such, Marvin's one non-negotiable item is to direct the project himself. Jack is on the downward side of his own career, and as such, in his role of chief fundraiser, does whatever he can to make connections to the established or potential movers and shakers in the business, which includes hiring as his right hand man inexperienced Stuart Stratland, Jr. solely for his connection to "Sr."

In terms of the actual investors, Jack finds a disparate group of three who cannot or will not finance the entire project each on his own, they all having a common want in return for their money: to cast his respective mistress in the most prominent female role, each of those three with varying degrees of talent, or non-talent as the case may be, each of the three women who, in addition, brings her own baggage into the process.

The question becomes how much Marvin is willing to compromise what was his vision for the project to keep especially the investors and their mistresses happy.
