Andy Garcia plays Byron Tiller, an impoverished writer who becomes a reluctant gigolo to support his wife and son. He soon finds himself face to face with an extremely attractive woman whose aging husband is a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist grappling with a novel that may be his last. Before long, Byron finds himself immersed in a world that he finds almost impossible to believe and even harder to explain. The film is anchored by a series of elegant performances: Garcia as the bemused and befuddled writer whose life takes a surprising turn; James Coburn as the spirited white-haired author struggling with his mortality; Olivia Williams as his beautiful, devoted partner; Julianna Marguiles as Byron’s long-suffering wife; and Anjelica Huston as Luther’s longtime wealthy paramour. But it is Mick Jagger as the proprietor of an elite male escort service, who, with line after line of dry, straight-faced wit, adds an invigorating comedic edge to the film’s dramatic storyline.

THE MAN FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS was produced by Donald Zuckerman, Andrew Pfeffer and Andy Garcia. Gold Circle Films founder and owner Norm Waitt was the Executive Producer. George Hickenlooper directed the film from a screenplay by Philip Jayson Lasker. -- © Samuel Goldwyn Films/Fireworks Pictures [More]
