Ensemble drama co-written by Bret Easton Ellis, based on his 1994 collection of short stories following the adventures of a loosely-connected group of people in 1983 Los Angeles. Movie executives, rock stars and other morally dubious characters are involved in the stories, which are generously laced with sex, drugs and violence. The cast includes Winona Ryder, Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke and Brad Renfro, who died of a heroin overdose while the film was in the latter stages of production.
