Los Angeles, 1980s. Centers on an array of characters who represent both the top of the heap - a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster - and the very bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con). Connecting the intertwining strands are a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs and one another with total abandon. They don't realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
DVD, region 1, anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) presentation; Dolby Digital.
Contents: Informers.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Effluvium submitted by Steve Amick on July 7, 2014, 1:42pm Not surprising when you discover this was based on something Bret Easton Ellis wrote when he was a tween--which is how all his work feels actually. Not much difference between the way the tween Ellis and the "adult" Ellis perceives the behavior of human grownups.
