Описание: Welcome to LA. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs.
Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun
sprees. Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity.
Frey's trademark filmic snapshots
zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who
tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage.
Some are loaded, or grounded, and
have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.
