Seduced and Abandoned
John

James
Toback and Alec Baldwin set off to Cannes to get a movie financed.
This documentary about getting a film produced at the renowned film
festival is comedic and depressing. For future filmmakers, it can be
hard to watch as Toback and Baldwin are confronted with the
challenges of financing a personal project. Baldwin isn't a bankable
actor and a 20 million dollar budget shouldn't be but 5. Interviews
with Scorcese, Gosling, Chastain, Bejo, Francis Ford Capola, and a
handful of producers and billionaires bring this depressing
documentary into light. I still don't know if the sex drama set in
the Iraq war will make it to the big screen.
