SVOD Exclusive! In the Soup
A film by Alexandre Rockwell
Starring Jennifer Beals, Steve Buscemi and Seymour Cassel
| Aldolpho (Steve Buscemi) is an aspiring writer-director who can’t even claim to be scraping by. No one will touch his flagrantly anti-commercial epic-length script, his acting gigs offer little compensation, and his crumbling New York City apartment is haunted by debt collectors. Worse, the literal girl next door, Angelica (Jennifer Beals), is oblivious to his affections. In a desperate attempt to get his screenplay funded, he meets Joe (Seymour Cassel), a crook willing to play dirty for cash. |
