EDMOND (2005)

STUART GORDON

Plot

'You are not where you belong,' says the fortune teller, and Edmond, in his disillusioned and angry state decides that indeed he is not. The encounter causes Edmond to confront the emptiness of his life and marriage, prompting him to flee the safe boredom of his home for the vortex of the dark streets of L.A., tilting our repulsive anti-hero into an irredeemable free-fall that he mistakes for liberation. As Edmond spirals towards personal disintegration, his racism and homophobia emerges and he freely expresses his unleashed beliefs. A brutal, occasionally disturbing pitch black satire.
