Director: Gregor Jordan
Category: Premieres
What to Expect: Sex, drugs and new wave -- early 1980s L.A. -- a time of excess and decadence. Found at the top of the heap: a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster; at the bottom: a voyeuristic doorman and an amoral ex-con. None realizing they're dancing on the edge of an abyss.
What Caught Our Eye: Mickey, Billy Bob and Kim -- between their real lives and many roles, nothing spells excessive, alluring L.A.-inspired grit like these three.
