Franck Tabouring
Seen on: April 24, 2009
The players: Director: Joe Wright, Writer: Susannah Grant, Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Nelsan Ellis, Michael Bunin, Catherine Keener
Facts of interest: Based on the book by Steve Lopez.
The plot: Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez gets a new perspective on life when he meets a homeless musician who once attended Julliard.
Our thoughts: Joe Wright, the director who brought us the beautiful “Pride & Prejudice” and the intriguing “Atonement,” returns to the big screen with “The Soloist,” a soft but moving drama that boasts an unforgettable story, gorgeous photography, a stellar cast and a marvelous soundtrack. Sounds pretty good, right?
