Hollywood Dreams
The tale of a young girl fresh off the bus from Iowa, who falls in love with a sexy, promising young actor, though their relationship threatens to complicate her own obsessive goal of becoming a famous actress. The film perfectly captures the delightful and desperate lives of those chasing dreams in Hollywood: One day they are shuffling down a boardwalk with too many suitcases, and the next they are lounging in contemporary hillside homes with a view of the city. Though neither state is permanent, the more-desirable one fuels the dream. The story's extraordinary execution portrays Hollywood as the fantastic and insane place that it is.
