30 x Double Passes to Preview Screening of ‘Seduced and Abandoned’ at Cinema Nova on May 6 (Melbourne only)Score tickets to this hilariously perceptive doco, which follows Alec Baldwin and James Toback as they lift the lid on the movie biz.
Alec Baldwin and filmmaker James Toback are on a mission: to remake Bernardo Bertolucci's legendary 1972 film Last Tango in Paris by setting it in Iraq in the mid-2000s. Hobnobbing their way around Cannes, the wisecracking duo meet up with a who's who of the film industry, including Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ryan Gosling and Bertolucci himself, as they try to find money, a script and a cast for their impossible idea.
Seduced and Abandoned is the delightful and utterly uncategorisable new pseudo-documentary from veteran director James Toback. A riff on the harsh economics of modern film turned unlikely buddy comedy, it's a glimpse into the funny film business and a gleeful homage to a lost time when film was made for film's sake.
