ENTERTAINMENT dir. Rick Alverson, Drama, Rated 'R', USA, English, 110 min., 2015
A broken, aging comedian (Neil Hamburger) tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters
