the informers

so i was just recently made aware of a very interesting looking new movie that’s debuting at sundance this week and then will be released widely in may called the informers. it’s from the guy who did less than zero – a move i still adore about bazillion people i like are going to be in it: winona ryder, chris isaak, billy bob thornton (among others). the plot synopsis from imdb is as follows:

A multi-strand narrative set in early 1980’s Los Angeles, centered on an 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, an amoral ex-con). Connecting the intertwining strands are 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 a volcano.

a little cheesy, i know, but whatevs. you can check out the interesting although kind of confusing trailer below. if nothing else the soundtrack is going to be amazing!:
