광기의 정의The Definition of Insanity

SYNOPSIS

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY is a tragi-comedy about elusive dreams, love, loss, and the passions that drive us. The film tells the story of Robert (Robert Margolis), an actor moving past his prime who is still running after that one great role. Robert's life begins to unravel as he struggles to survive in a competitive and often brutal environment without realizing how his obsession affects the people close to him. Like many barely surviving artists he faces the existential question: How much of his life does he want to sacrifice to art? And when is the time to move on? When he meets legendary film director Peter Bogdanovich ("The Cat's Meow", "The Last Picture Show"), his life changes in a profound, but unexpected way. Blurring the line between fiction and reality, the directors shot their fictional story in a documentary style, a mix that gives the material freshness, immediacy and an unsettling authenticity. THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY is a film about big dreams and everyday rituals, humiliating defeats and little triumphs, and the inexplicable optimism – some might call it delusion – that keeps us going.
