The Dying Gaul

Saw this movie tonight at a screener. Yeah, I had never heard of it either. It stars Patricia Clarkson and Peter Saarsgard, whom I both love. It was of particular interest to me because it's about a screenwriter who becomes involved with a film executive and his wife. Interesting piece of work. I was amazed to learn at the Q&A afterward that it was the writer/director Craig Lucas' first effort at directing a film. You can hear the podcast at creativescreenwriting.com. Lucas is quite the character. He is the writer behind PRELUDE TO A KISS, LONGTIME COMPANION and the fairly new Broadway play, "Light in the Piazza." Check it out, it's worth a look.
