Slipstream (2007)

Felix Bonhoeffer (Anthony Hopkins, who also wrote, directed, produced, financed and composed music for this film), an aging screenwriter, is struggling with a murder mystery script when he reaches a point of near implosion as his personal life, past history, interior life, script and film cast and crew all whirl in a vortex in his head..

This is definitely a like-it-or-hate-it film and I have to to admit, I didn't like the first hour that much until I got into the flow -- whatever flow there might possibly have been. And upon viewing a second time, much fell into place for me. Hopkins himself has said that he knows how confusing this film is but he did it for himself and not really for anyone else.

Others in the cast include: Michael Clarke Duncan, Fionnula Flanagan, Christopher Lawford, John Turturro, Christian Slater, Jeffrey Tambor, Camryn Manheim, Lisa Pepper, Kevin McCarthy, William Lucking, S. Epatha Merkerson and Stella Arroyave (Hopkins' real life wife).

Rated R for language and some violent images.

My personal rating: B
