The Humbling
Older but not wiser.
Directed by Barry Levinson
Produced by Hammerton Productions, AMBI Group
A darkly comic study of aging, desire, and self-delusion, where an actor's attempt to recapture vitality through a younger woman becomes a meditation on mortality and irrelevance.
Following a breakdown and suicide attempt, an aging actor becomes involved with a much younger woman but soon finds that it's difficult to keep pace with her.
