Sunset Park

A tragedy, a game, a masterpiece, Sunset Park describes the hopes and worries of an unforgettable crowd of people who come together in the darkest times of the American economic crisis: an enigmatic young man obsessively photographing rubble; a cool cineaste with a penchant for androgyny; a political activist repairing artifacts from a vanished world in his broken-arts clinic; a painter of erotic subjects; a once-celebrated actress preparing for her comeback on Broadway; a small publisher trying to save his publishing house and marriage.
