 The Informers Director: Gregor Jordan Writer: Bret Easton Ellis, Nicholas Jarecki Cast: Winona Ryder, Billy Bob Thornton, Ashley Olsen, Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger Distributor: Senator Country: US Theatrical Release Date: April 24, 2009 Synopsis: Sex, drugs, and new wave...Los Angeles in the early 1980s: a time of excess and decadence, and nobody captures it better than Bret Easton Ellis as he coadapts his own acclaimed novel for the screen. Its multistrand narrative deftly balances a vast array of characters, who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman and an amoral ex-con). Connecting his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists—a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs—and one another—with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of an abyss.
