Local heart throb and rising star Jacob Elordi scores the role of playing the young Richard Gere in this tale of age and reflection.

Fiery but feeling his years and his illness, ailing filmmaker Leonard Fife (Gere) wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it’s too late. As the director of lauded documentary exposés, he has much to be proud of, but his avoidance of the Vietnam War draft and his past relationships harbour thorny truths. Finally choosing to reveal the truth and lies in his life and career, Leonard sits for an extended filmed interview with his former student Malcolm, charging ahead with candid stories about his younger self in the fractious 1960s and beyond. At Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable partner, Emma, hears it all.

Can’t wait to see Uma back on the big screen… been too long.
