Alexandre Rockwell's tale of the beleaguered auteur may have a touch of the autobiographical, but it also has something of the fantastic about it. Shot in grainy black and white on a shoestring it stars the fabulous Steve Buscemi with support from the always great Seymour Cassel and Jennifer Beals (at the time married to Rockwell). Stellar cameos include Jim Jarmusch, Carol Kane, Stanley Tucci and Sam Rockwell (no relation!) to name a few.
Buscemi is a struggling film-maker looking for development money for his 500 page 'art film'. Cassel is the shady businessman and all round fun guy who takes the uber-serious Buscemi under his wing, and Beals is the angelic neighbour who he wants to propel to stardom - not that she cares.
This is a beautiful film full of humour, crazy characters (Will Patton does a scene-stealing turn as Cassel's psychotic brother, Skippy), and it most deservedly won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1992.

Would-be director Adolpho Rollo dreams of making great films but can't even manage to scrape together his rent to pay his crooked landlords. In desperation, he places an ad offering to sell his epic 500-page screenplay to the highest bidder. Joe a warm hearted, small-time hood buys the script, takes Adolpho under his wing and in the process of 'fundraising' involves him in his madcap criminal activities. Joe helps him start up a romance with Angelica, Adolpho's strange but beautiful neighbour. In The Soup is a hilarious and inventive caper movie that has something for everyone.

This is a sweet and funny film. Buscemi and Cassel are wonderful together and filming in black and white look really gives it a great look. Everyone looks beautiful in this.
