Jason Schwartzman stars as Philip, a narcissistic novelist on the brink of the publication of his second tome. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his girlfriend, and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject: himself.

“Jason Schwartzman shines as a self-absorbed writer who doesn’t quite learn the err of his ways in Alex Ross Perry’s sharp and darkly funny third feature.”
