inspiration for his film, he increasingly retreats in dreamy recollections of his life and lovers, until fantasy, memories and reality merge in the director's mind - and on screen, in an astonishing, masterful spectacle, culminating in an electrifying triumph of optimism.

Combining intellectual ambition with a singular comic sensibility, the third feature film by writer-director Alex Ross Perry marked a defining moment for the American independent cinema of the 2010s.

As with his previous features 'Impolex' and 'The Color Wheel', the blackly hilarious 'Listen Up Philip' is distinguished as much by its literary pedigree as by its fine attunement to atmosphere, sense of place, and, enabled by the camerawork of Scan Price Williams, the texture of the image. Jason Schwarfzman, in one of his most accomplished roles since such Wes Anderson collaborations as 'Rushmore' and 'The Darjeeling Limited', achieves the height of comic verbal violence as the novelist Philip Lewis Friedman who, having received his first taste of literary acclaim, embarks upon the publicity campaign for his soon-to-be-published second novel, 'Obidant'. The attention of his literary hero Ike Zimmerman (played by the first-rate Jonathan Pryce), a major novelist so decades his elder, leads to an open invitation to abscond from Brooklyn and work from Zimmermans small-town home upstate. And so the stage is set for all-out warfare between Philips seemingly irrepressible ego and the emotionality of his talented photographer girlfriend Ashley who, in a brilliant performance by Elisabeth Moss, exhibits the kind of dynamism that could dull Philip's edge for good.
