THE DAY OF THE LOCUST is a neo-noir, a period movie, and a genuine noir as the first adaptation of Nathaniel West's quintessential "Hollywood is Hell" novel. All about grasping actors, grasping fans and what a weird, broken, perverse town Hollywood is. William Atherton leads a stacked cast. Classic.
William Atherton plays completely opposite to his 80s personality, along w/ Karen Black, Donald Sutherland, Geraldine Page, Billy Barty, Jackie Earle Haley, Bo Hopkins...it's a wildly great cast. Toss on BARTON FINK and MULHOLLAND DRIVE after to finish off a surreal Hollywood is Hell triple feature.
