A private eye afflicted with Tourette’s syndrome, Lionel Essrog is investigating the murder of his mentor. Around him, in 1950s New York, jazz, vice and secrets abound. Edward Norton directs Bruce Willis and Willem Dafoe in a thriller that is darker than the Hudson’s waters. Brilliant!

Brilliant actor Edward Norton returns to directing and adapts Jonathan Lethem’s quirky and spicy literary success, Motherless Brooklyn, set in 1950s New York. A dream cast in the great tradition of film noir, with a soundtrack by Thom Yorke and Michael Peter Balzary aka Flea, bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and arrangements by New Orleans trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.
