The R-rated film from 1992 was directed by Robert Altman and written by Michael Tolkin, who adapted the screenplay from his own novel. It is a satire of Hollywood and its questionable ethics.
The film concerns a sleek and smooth Hollywood studio executive, played by Tim Robbins, who starts receiving anonymous death threats from a disgruntled writer. The executive is also struggling with threats to his job and a girlfriend who is too independent to be a suitable trophy wife.
Screenwriter and director Damon Maulucci will lead the post-film discussion. Mallucci is a visiting a professor in the university's master's degree program in film and television. He received his master's in fine arts degree in screenwriting from Columbia University.
