MAPS TO THE STARS (2014)

DAVID CRONENBERG

Plot

The Weiss family are an archetypical Hollywood dynasty - Dr Stafford Weiss is a psychotherapist whose self-help books have made him a fortune. His wife Cristina is the overbearing mom-ager of their thirteen year old son, Benjie, a prodigious child star fresh out of drug rehab, and their estranged daughter Agatha has recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Agatha is now back in Hollywood making friends with a wannabe actor named Jerome, and has landed a new job as PA to one of Stafford’s clients; the neurotic and tempestuous actress Havana Segrand, whose dream of reprising her dead mother’s starring role from the 1960s is beginning to haunt her. A deliciously dark and twisted satire on the bizarre world of Hollywood from Cronenberg
