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

Okay, so I had never heard of this movie, but came across it at Blockbuster the other day. I'm an author, so the premise appealed to me, plus the added attraction of Mick Jagger, which intrigued me. Truthfully, I didn't expect much of this movie, but I found, happily, that it is very well done, and keeps you interested. A lot of twists and turns, sad moments, hopeful moments, and maybe even a happy ending. Andy Garcia, Julianna Margulies, James Coburn (how could you go wrong there), and Mr. Jagger ... Read More

THREE-AND-A-HALF STARS
What would you give up to get what you want? It's a question we answer in sundry ways each and every day. We sacrifice a sit-down breakfast to snatch an extra fifteen minutes of sleep. We give up an afternoon at the office to see a child's T-ball game. We go out for an evening on the town rather than work late remodeling the spare room. Each benefit requires a trade, each desire a cost. It's this axiom that's the beating heart of The Man from Elysian Fields.

The plot is extremely good. A writer in the dumps who needs money for his family takes a job with an escort service. He gets involved in one client problems. Who in the end, treats like what he is a paid prostitute. In the process, he losses his family.
The acting is good. In particular, I liked Mick Jagger. Who I think is a good actor.

This is worth seeing -- solid cast, solid acting, script with good potential and some good moments. Mick Jagger, as many have said, is very good. I personally had no idea he could act, and as soon as I realized he had a key role in what was promised to be a serious drama, I was disheartened. But I was very, very pleasantly surprised. If only for his sake, I wish this were a better film, or that at least it had gotten some attention. I frankly, had never even heard of it, and just happened to stumble ... Read More

I only rented this dvd because I wanted to see Mick Jagger in a serious role.
Much to my surprise, not only was he brilliant but the movie, I thought, was a pure gem.
Incredibly witty dialogue combined with a suberb ensemble of talent, the Man From Elysian Fields is one that could be labeled "a true sleeper".
It is rare to get to see Mick Jagger as an adult and what an outstanding job he did.
There is one scene in particular where he is proposing to Angelica Houston to leave her husband ... Read More
