The Blackout
1996, 94 minutes, Rated R
From acclaimed director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant, The Funeral) comes a new, blistering examination of evil, guilt and redemption. The Blackout is the story of mega-movie star Matty - surrounded by cameras, mobbed by fans and dependant on drugs. So dependant, that one evening he loses complete touch with reality and blacks out...
The Blackout is a psychological thriller - a twisted exploration of the need for truth. A journey through a life of excesses and the challenging of natural human limits. Ferrara's film parallels 'the despicable' with high art, to create a tale of moralistic mayhem in a modern world.
Sometimes the truth can be found in the darkest places.
