Flashbacks Of A Fool

Looking back in anger and despair

The fool in question is Daniel Craig’s washed-up Hollywood star. Joe Scot wears concealer, drinks heavily and can’t survive in his Malibu mansion without frequent visits from drug-dealer Sister Jean (Emilia Fox) and the acid attentions of his black housekeeper (hip-hop artist Eve).

We see Craig at the beginning and end of the film, while Harry Eden plays the star as a young man in an English seaside town of the early Seventies where a married woman (Jodhi May) gives him his first sexual experience and a tragedy occurs which eventually causes him to leave home.
