Touch
1997, 97 minutes, Rated M
From the best-selling auther Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, Out of Sight) comes an extraordinary story of faith, love and exploitation.
Juvenal, (Skeet Ulrich - Scream, The Craft) has the "touch" that can heal. A former Franciscan monk, now wokring in an LA de-tox centre, the young and handsome saint calmly moves through the masses performing miracles.
Witnessting this magic, religious TV personality and profiteer, Bill Hill (Christopher Walken - Pulp Fiction, True Romance) decides to make Juvenal a star, and himself rich in the process.
Right-wing religious zealot Agust Murray, (Tom Arnold - True Lies, Nine Months) who wants Juvenal for his own church, finds himself in the midst of a vicious media frenzy, all the while his young star is losing his heart to a gorgeous record promoter Lynn Faulkner, (Bridget Fonda - Singles, The Godfather III).
A star-studded cast including Gina Gershon, Janeane Garofalo, Lolita Davidovich and a tightly charged soundtrack from Dave Grohl (Nirvana) light up this wickedly comic fable.
