Hideous Men Are Hideous 

Read this

After debuting at Sundance to mixed and somewhat befuddled reviews, John “Jim from The Office” Krasinski’s film adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s incredible short fiction collection “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men” will receive theatrical distribution by IFC September 25th.

I read the book while living in Uruguay during the production of  “14 Days In Paradise” and loved every hilarious, dark and misanthropic page. The movie is already being compared to Neil LaBute’s savage take downs of modern mores and sensibilities with the hideous men from the book represented on screen in all of their particularly male vileness. Can’t wait.

First look is here.
