Flashbacks of a Fool (Drama / Completed)

Hollywood movie star Joe has it all; looks, fame, money, but there's a demon inside him that his Babylonian debauches can't kill.

On a one way ticket to self destruction Joe realizes the only way to save himself is by returning to a place he's been running from his entire life, his childhood, a place ruled by a love he desperately wants to remember and a catastrophe he'll do anything to forget.

Starring Daniel Craig, FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL is a tender ode to first love, a shocking fable of soul wrenching tragedy, and a poignant, powerful journey of forgiveness, redemption and healing in the heartbreaking tradition of PRINCE OF TIDES.

Cast: Daniel Craig, Harry Eden, Olivia Williams, Helen McCrory, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Eve, Miriam Karlin, Claire Forlani, Keeley Hawes, Emilia Fox, Felicity Jones, James D'Arcy, Alfie Allen, Sid Mitchell, Julie Ordon, Gina Athans, Max Deacon, Jodie Tomlinson, Mia Clifford (Credits may not be contractual)

Writer / Director: Baillie Walsh

Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter.com:

"The film has attractive scenery and appealing players, and new writer-director Baillie Walsh - a music video veteran - delivers surprises amid the flashbacks. Craig's name and a soundtrack that features Roxy Music and David Bowie should help drive the picture to rewarding if not spectacular boxoffice returns."

"Craig features in the first and last acts showing the movie star's corruption in the beginning and his attempt at redemption at the end, and he does a solid job. The middle act is all about the kids, and Eden does well in the company of two fine young actresses, Jones and May.

"The dramatic event at the core of the story is staged powerfully. While the film leans toward sentimentality, the strength of the performers makes it palatable."
