Soundman (1999)

Synopsis: A new film is in production. Based on HAMLET, DEAD COWBOYS is not likely to become a film classic, but many of the filmmakers have lofty pretensions regarding the outcome of the film.

Based on HAMLET, DEAD COWBOYS is not likely to become a film classic, but many of the filmmakers have lofty pretensions regarding the outcome of the film. This cannot be said of Igyby Walters (Wayne Pere), the loner soundman on the project who frequently clashes with producers, actors, and the director. Igyby's neighbor Juliet (Eliane Chappuis) is an untalented violinist who he attempts to employ scoring films. His pushy techniques to get Juliet a job causes more conflict between him and his fellow crew members. Darkly comedic, this American independent has shades of TAXI DRIVER and THE CONVERSATION. Writer/director Steven Ho has created a creepy look behind the scenes at a Hollywood production. He is ably assisted by newcomer Wayne Pere who gives a performance of great disturbing depth. [More]
