Add The Man from Elysian Fields to the list of essential movies about the pains of writing. This wry comedy-drama charts the frustrations of a financially strapped novelist (Andy Garcia) as he desperately and secretly agrees to be an "escort" for ladies who need, ah, escorting. This leads him into a Faustian bargain to help a beautiful client (Olivia Williams) whose husband, a once-great, now-dying writer (a mighty James Coburn), is struggling with a final work. Of course the fact that the men are sharing a project and a woman complicates matters--and Garcia's loyal wife (Julianna Margulies) is curious about all these nights spent away. The movie explores different levels of compromise and betrayal, yet it remains tartly amusing throughout. And it has a glorious casting inspiration: the director of the mysterious escort service is played by Mick Jagger, looking decadently elegant and purring like a vaguely satanic Siamese cat. --Robert Horton

The plot is extremely good. A writer in the dumps who needs money for his family takes a job with an escort service. He gets involved in one client problems. Who in the end, treats like what he is a paid prostitute. In the process, he losses his family.
The acting is good. In particular, I liked Mick Jagger. Who I think is a good actor.

This is worth seeing -- solid cast, solid acting, script with good potential and some good moments. Mick Jagger, as many have said, is very good. I personally had no idea he could act, and as soon as I realized he had a key role in what was promised to be a serious drama, I was disheartened. But I was very, very pleasantly surprised. If only for his sake, I wish this were a better film, or that at least it had gotten some attention. I frankly, had never even heard of it, and just happened to ... Read More

I only rented this dvd because I wanted to see Mick Jagger in a serious role.
Much to my surprise, not only was he brilliant but the movie, I thought, was a pure gem.
Incredibly witty dialogue combined with a suberb ensemble of talent, the Man From Elysian Fields is one that could be labeled "a true sleeper".
It is rare to get to see Mick Jagger as an adult and what an outstanding job he did.
There is one scene in particular where he is proposing to Angelica Houston to leave ... Read More

This movie tries really, really hard to be meaningful and insightful and, at times, it actually gets there. Unfortunately, it never quite pulls its story together and the ending is way simplistic and insulting. Still, Andy Garcia is very sympathetic while the real revelation is Mick Jagger who does an excellent job as the devilish pimp. Angelica Huston is also excellent in a small supporting role for which she barely gets credit (odd for an Oscar winner??!!). Anyway, I can't say I'd tell any friends ... Read More

Did not know about this film. I just found it at the video store on saturday.
The kind of film that you do not know why it is not a famous picture.
Very interesting subject. Changing roles; he is the one who has to be a prostitute to support his family. Very interesting, I do not think there are much more films about it.
Andy Garcia plays with the image of "latin lover" to give just the opposite message. "You can have a lot of things as a latin lover, but you also can loose everything because ... Read More
