Product Description

Also starring Olivia Williams and Academy Award(r) winner James Coburn (Winner, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Affliction, 1997). Becoming a successful writer remains an elusive dreamfor Byron Tiller (Garcia). No longer able to pay the bills, worried about his family's livelihood and seeing no other option, he reluctantly seeks employment at Elysian Fields - an upscale male escort service. But as Byron slowly succumbs to the demands of the job - and his own desires - a destructive pattern of deception threatens the very thing that he sought to protect... his family. "A romantic drama about seduction and betrayal." - Leah Rosen, PEOPLE

Amazon.com

Add The Man from Elysian Fields to the list of essential movies about the pains of writing. This wry comedy-drama charts the frustrations of a financially strapped novelist (Andy Garcia) as he desperately and secretly agrees to be an "escort" for ladies who need, ah, escorting. This leads him into a Faustian bargain to help a beautiful client (Olivia Williams) whose husband, a once-great, now-dying writer (a mighty James Coburn), is struggling with a final work. Of course the fact that the men are sharing a project and a woman complicates matters--and Garcia's loyal wife (Julianna Margulies) is curious about all these nights spent away. The movie explores different levels of compromise and betrayal, yet it remains tartly amusing throughout. And it has a glorious casting inspiration: the director of the mysterious escort service is played by Mick Jagger, looking decadently elegant and purring like a vaguely satanic Siamese cat. --Robert Horton

Excellent Find

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017

I really enjoyed this movie. I found it doing a search on Prime. It sounded a bit suspect from the movie summary but I was curious about a movie that has Mick Jagger and Andy Garcia (Say what?). To my surprise the acting was very good and the storyline had depth and was very tasteful. Even though the focus is around and escort there was a very romantic quality throughout the movie and I somehow felt bad for Andy's character. I do not condone his actions ay way but we don't know what we would do if put in any situation; nor can we negate the repercussions.

The way that Cali was portrayed was refreshing....not the usual glitter and gold. Just real people living lives in Southern California where some days are just not sunny. And the cinematography was very good; it sometimes had an old-time feel to it. I especially liked the ocean scenes, I am glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem.

The Elysian Fields Is More Like Hades

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

In Greek Mythology, the Elysian Fields is a place of existence reserved for the souls of the most virtuous and heroic individuals. The Elysian Fields in this film are far from that. It is an escort service for which Byron Tiller, played by Andy Garcia, joined because he desperately needed a job. Byron, a writer, could not get his work published. As an escort, he became intimate with Andrea Allcott, the wife of a renowned author Tobias Allcott, played by James Coburn. Tobias, who is much older than Andrea, and in very poor health, in fact, he is dying, is aware of the intimacy between Byron and his wife, and even approves of it. Tobias is having difficulty writing his last book and strikes a deal with Byron to co-author his last book with him, which Byron agrees. Byron, however, writes the book. Byron's wife, Dena, who dearly loves Byron, is unaware of any of this, i.e., that he works for an escort service and is intimately involved with Andrea Allcott.

Byron writes the book. And what happens when Tobias dies is what makes the Elysian Fields seem more like the dark bowels of Hades.

Andy Garcia is outstanding as Byron, and James Coburn is excellent as Tobias. Mick Jagger puts in a very good performance as the owner of The Elysian Fields. And the supporting cast is superb.

This is a tense film which will hold your interest throughout.

Some trivial elements, but not a trivial film

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

The "Man From Elysian Fields" is an excellent film. It has an A-list cast, great dialog delivered poignantly by an ensemble of well-developed characters, good urban cinematography and a plot that belies initial expectations by creating suspension of disbelief. Don't give up on this movie. The trivial treatment of the backstory in the first ten minutes or so made me abandon the film for a while, but I eventually resumed watching, and it was the best film decision I've made in a long time. Once the superficial story lines are plotted, the film takes some unexpected, dark and twisting turns into the unpredictablity of human nature. The "Man From Elysian Fields" was released almost 20 years ago, but its timeless story of redemption clearly has stood the test of time for me. The age of the film gave me a chance to see a young Andy Garcia and Juliana Margulies, a younger Angelica Houston and Mick Jagger (yes, that one), and a still vital James Coburn the year before he passed away. I haven't provided any plot details because the film warrants discovery on their own. Five stars.

not what I expected, but very much worth watching

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017

This is not what I expected...a writer without inspiration or money is not exactly a new concept. This movie presented new ideas however. I loved it. I wish that I could find a man like Andy Garcia...his heart and his humanity are always on full display in everything he does and this is no exception. The only word I can think of to describe this movie is sweet...and the plot line really does not suggest sweet. I recommend this to anyone looking for something new that does not rely on pyrotechnics and special effects. This is a movie about honest human emotion and some not so honest actions. Not a movie for children, perhaps, although there is not really anything objectionable in it, but they simply would not understand. More appropriate for those more mature souls who understand more subtle interactions.

Greg Shakespeare

Sorry to sound blasé but

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I believe the screenwriter(s?) started with a decent idea. It was really a variation on Merchant of Venice, but in MOV, a super successful merchant gets a substantial loan for his business which he cannot repay, but on the eve of his upcoming marriage to the wealthiest young woman in Venice, his jeopardy seems damning. Yet that young woman comes to his aid secretly, and plenty of intrigues make it seem utterly impossible to save him. However, in the Man from Elysian Fields, the leading character instead is a down and out starving writer who may lose his current marriage to the daughter of a super successful commercial builder in the cities of Santa Monica and Pasadena (where they filmed the movie), and he gets some quick money by bedding the young wife of an ailing Pulitzer Prize winner and super successful author. But, for some less dramatic reason, the screenwriter(s?) redeem the big risks taken by the starving writer as a kind of necessary journey to write a decent book. I'm not giving 5 stars because they didn't understand why Shakespeare's tale is far better at proving the truly selfless [the heroine--in MOV] never takes personal credit.

Happy I bought this without knowing the story in advance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2014

The story seems to be well enough described, so I will just say why I give it 5 stars.
Every actor seems to be just the right picked person for each role, and I have never seen James Coburn better.
Since I never bought Stones Music, but got catched by Brian Auger and Miles Davis, I didn`t know much about Mick Jagger.
Mick Jagger was to me a very pleasant surprise. What a personality! His charisma kept me glued to the chair from
the moment he entered the room. In fact I wasn`t in the right mood to sit down with a film that evening, but this one sure
got my attention. I guess this film needs an audience with some life experience. Specially those of us that had to start from
scratch a few times, when all doors seemed closed to get a new job, and freelance solutions were the only risky challenge left.
To me, Mick Jagger and his personality gave the extra edge to this film, and makes me rate it 5 instead og 4 stars.
I knew the other actors and their quality, so they gave what I expected of them.
This is a film to watch many times as years goes by. I`ve watched it two times in two weeks now, and I still love it !

I had a slight recollection of this film from way-back. Wow,it was not as I remembered it at all

Mick acted well but I found Garcia quite wooden and wondered what he was doing in it.

This is a wonderful movie, highly intelligent and original -qualities hard to find in movies these days! It's so well written and the acting is impeccable. I really enjoyed it and will be sending my friends and family copies for Chrimbo. And no I don't work for the distributors! - I'm just an English trainer and writer who loves good movies.
