I know what you’re thinking, awesome cast, right? I couldn’t agree more and that is only the first reason why I am excited to see Mark Pellington’s raunchy drama, I Melt With You, starring Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe and Christian McKay.
The second reason why I want to see the drama is that it completely divided the critics that had seen it at Sundance so naturally I want to understand why it is such a divisive film. Luckily for us the film was picked up by my favorite distributor, Magnolia Pictures, who will be releasing the film November 4 via on-demand systems followed by its theatrical release on December 9th.
The trailer is very interesting as it doesn’t seem to reveal too much yet you can tell that there is going to be a lot of partying and drama surrounding the festivities and the self discovery that will follow it up. Check it out below and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section.
Richard (Thomas Jane), Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe) and Tim (Christian McKay) are old college friends that gather annually for a week in Big Sur to celebrate their friendship and catch-up on each other’s lives. They seem like typical men in their forties – all with careers, families, and enormous responsibilities – but like most people there is a lot more beneath the surface.
As the week progresses, they go down the rabbit hole of excess as mountains of drugs are consumed to a blaring rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack. Parties with much younger women spin out of control. Exhausted and run ragged, they bare their souls to one another revealing the disillusionment with their lives. As the truth emerges, the reunion takes a much darker turn when a promise from their past is brought to light. From director Mark Pellington, I MELT WITH YOU is a visually dazzling, wild and wooly trip deep into the male psyche, driven by four amazingly committed and profound performances.
