New York based filmmaker Eddie Israel (Harvey Keitel, Bad Lieutenant) is embarking on a new production titled Mother of Mirrors, being shot in Los Angeles. Joining Israel in Hollywood are his film’s lead actors, Sarah (Madonna, Desperately Seeking Susan) and Francis (James Russo, China Girl), playing an unhappily married couple coming to terms with matters of religion, drug use and unconventional sex. As reality and fiction begin to merge, Israel’s wife, Madlyn (Nancy Ferrara, real life wife to Abel), enters the fray of the tumultuous film production that has become home to infidelity, drug use and acts of violence, setting the stage for an unpredictable and uncompromising final act.
A too often overlooked movie about making movies. Harvey Keitel in the mid 90s playing a unhinged indie movie director is all you need to know. Though I rarely fetishise packaging, Vinegar Syndromes blu ray is the most beautiful creation of this sort since the book of the dead Evil Dead dvd released in the early 2000s. (Got it at the galleria at the best buy mall, 30 bucks, 2002 or so.) A must watch if you have any interest in how movies are made.
