Summary:
"Based on true events, Elijah Wood stars as John Malcolm Brinnin, the New York academic who brought Dylan Thomas to America. Actor/co-writer Celyn Jones plays the volatile celebrity poet -- tormented by anonymity, alcohol and the abyss -- who scandalized the Manhattan literati of the Fifties and challenged Brinnin''s hero worship of his work. In the face of the Welsh poet''s wilder excesses in the Big Apple -- angel, beast and madman -- John has no choice but to hijack Dylan to a private retreat to get him ready for America. The days and nights that follow will change his life forever. Part literary biopic and -- shot in cut-glass black-and-white -- part love-letter to the American B-movies of the Forties and Fifties, Andy Goddard's debut feature is both a character driven chamber piece and a cautionary tale about the fly trap of meeting your heroes."--Container.
