Genius
~ CVAG Film series Fall 2016
starring Jude Law (as Thomas Wolfe), Colin Firth (as Max Perkins), Nicole Kidman and the authors, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, played by Guy Pearce and Dominic West
This was beautiful, wonderfully acted by all, especially Jude Law as the weirdly, over energized Tom Wolfe.
Explores the hows and whys of getting his books edited from the 1000 page length to a more reasonable publishable size.
It was Max Perkins who had the stamina and patience to do so, all the while, seeing the intoxication of Tom, infiltrate his own life as it had the life of Tom's mistress Aline Bernstein, played by Nicole Kidman.
