The End of the Tour

All you need to turn a regular interview into an unusual and dramatic story is a five-day meeting between "Rolling Stone" journalist (and novelist) Davida Lipskiego with one of the most acclaimed postmodern American writers, David Foster Wallace. Ironically, while interview was never published, the hours of intimate conversation, filled with emotions, tête-à-tête, and grave admissions became the basis for Lipski's novel penned after Wallace's suicide, which garnered countless literary accolades. The movie adaptation stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lipski, a journalist fascinated with Wallace's prose, who visits his home at the time the writer is promoting his groundbreaking novel Infinite Jest. The initially formal and courteous relationship morphs into an edge-of-your-seat game between two sensitive men where topics range from dogs to television, painful issues of identity, dependence and death.
