Synopsis

Lovely, Still

Directed by:
Nik Fackler

Starring:
Martin Landau
Ellen Burstyn
Elizabeth Banks
Adam Scott


Robert (Oscar winner Martin Landau, Ed Wood) bags groceries at a supermarket and that’s as exciting as his life gets. Clocks have more varied routines than he does. Then he meets Mary (Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore), a beautiful woman who has just moved in across the street, and lonesome Robert finds a new, unexpected happiness opening up to him: there’s no doubt that they’re each other’s destiny. People may age, but the thrill of new love never gets old. Even as their warm, wonderful story unfolds, something frightening seems to be lurking under the surface. Are Robert’s bad dreams just dreams? Or are we glimpsing some horrible truths that threaten the precious world of romantic love? Adam Scott (The Great Buck Howard) and Elizabeth Banks (Zack and Miri Make a Porno) round out a perfect ensemble cast in this moving and disturbing story, a memorable tale of new love in the golden years, directed—ironically but very deftly—by 24 year-old Nik Fackler.
