Feature Narrative | United States | 118 MINUTES | EnglishComedy, Drama
Langston (Marc Maron), a once respected television actor now relegated to one scene gigs, is stuck in the past. With a teenage daughter he barely knows and a much younger girlfriend of which he has little in common, he’s plagued by a relentless, ongoing awareness of what could have been. But his constant state of egotistical bitterness and regret is rocked when a shocking terminal diagnosis motivates him into action. What is the one thing that a man like Langston feels will prove his life was worth something? A place in the Academy Awards® “In Memoriam” segment, of course.
Enlisting the help of his devoted agent (Michael McKean) and attempting to find allies in the industry who can speak to his “cause,” Langston goes on a misguided apology tour through his unscrupulous past. Featuring a sensational supporting cast including Lily Gladstone, Judy Greer, Talia Ryder, Sharon Stone and a hilarious Justin Long, In Memoriam is a unique, heartfelt dramedy about waking up in life before it’s too late.—Liza Domnitz
