(PCM) The Tribeca Films’ drama that stars Jason Schwartzman, Listen Up Philip, opens in theaters on a limited run starting October 17, 2014.
A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, Listen Up Philip is a literary look at the triumph of reality over the human spirit.
Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel.
He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his indifference to promoting his own work.
When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject – himself.
Starring alongside Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox) and Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, Pirates of the Caribbean) in Listen Up Philip are Elisabeth Moss (TV’s Mad Men, Get Him to the Greek), Krysten Ritter (Confessions of a Shopaholic, TV’s Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23), Dree Hemingway (Starlet, The Truth About Angels), Josephine de La Baume (Rush, One Day), Jess Weixler (Teeth, Best Man Down), Kate Lyn Sheil (You’re Next, Green), and Keith Poulson (Somebody Up There Likes Me, Hellaware).
Listen Up Philip is written and directed by Alex Ross (The Color Wheel, The Sixth Hour) with a score composed by Keegan DeWitt (Quiet City, This is Martin Bonner).
Listen Up Philip won the Special Jury Prize at the Locarno International Film Festival and has already earned a 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
