Ivansxtc
ivans xtc. (To Live and Die in Hollywood)
2000
Synopsis
Hot-shot Tinseltown agent Ivan Beckman Huston has mysteriously passed away. Going back in time, the days that lead up to Ivan’s death are filled with ecstatic highs and miserable lows as he hits the apex of his career by bagging international megastar Don West onto his company’s books.
Editorial
A first-wave adopter of digital filmmaking in the early ‘00s, Bernard Rose (Candyman) took the Dogme 95 movement as inspiration for this corrosive Hollywood satire. A mournfully romantic adaptation of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Ivansxtc mounts a searing reckoning with ego and mortality.
