The Man From Elysian Fields
2001, 106 minutes, Rated M
A biting, multi-layered morality tale about an author, Byron Tiller.
His first opus sold modestly but generated some kind reviews, sufficient encouragement to convince him that he was only a manuscript away from fame and fortune. Now, Byron is approaching rock bottom. His adoring wife Dena still believes in him, his young son adores him, but he can barely pay the family's bills.
When his latest manuscript is rejected, Byron is truly desperate. Enter elegant, world-weary Luther fox who offers him "temporary" employment as Elysian Fields, a discreet male escort service. Byron is wary at first, but Luther assures him that not all the wealthy women who use his service are interested in sex...
Thus begins Byron's unusual double life, a high-wire act which sees him risk everything in order to finally seize life's big brass ring.
