It's not being released through a major studio's boutique division, but STARTING OUT IN THE EVENING is a specialty film as good as (or maybe better than) most of the literate/upscale product that will be campaigning for Independent Spririt/Golden Globe/Academy Awards recognition.
And if you're a writer, this film (along with ATONEMENT) will have special resonance for you--regardless of what level of "craft" or "success" you have achieved.
Here's a link to a page on the distributor's website which describes the film:
In a perfect world, Frank Langella would be one of the five Best Actor Oscar nominees for his performance, but he'll probably have to save his acceptance speech until 2009 for his performance as Richard Nixon in next year's Ron Howard-directed adaptation of Peter Morgan's play FROST/NIXON.
