Directed by David Cronenberg • 2014 • Canada, United States, France
Starring Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, Robert Pattinson

Director David Cronenberg’s corrosive portrait of Hollywood as a soul-sucking, sunblasted wasteland stars Julianne Moore (in a deliriously unhinged performance for which she won the Best Actress prize at Cannes) as a washed-up movie star who’s haunted (literally) by the ghost of her famous actress mother while becoming entwined with a noxious film-industry family whose scions include a bratty child star son and a pyromaniac daughter. An acidic satire of Hollywood glamour gone sour, MAPS TO THE STARS is as bitingly funny as it is frighteningly deranged.
