Summary:
"Four unnamed people who look and sound a lot like Albert Einstein,
Marilyn
Monroe
, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy converge in one New York City hotel room for this compelling, visually inventive adaptation of Terry Johnson's play, from director Nicolas Roeg . With a combination of whimsy and dread, Roeg creates a fun-house-mirror picture of cold war America that questions the nature of celebrity and plays on a society's simmering nuclear fears. Insignificance is a delirious, intelligent
drama
, featuring magnetic performances by Michael Emil as the Professor, Theresa Russell as the Actress, Gary Busey the Ballplayer, and Tony Curtis as the Senator."--Container.
