On a fishing trip in Slovakia a small boy discovers
a limousine lying at the bottom of a river. Inside
are the bodies of two Hollywood stars, a young film director
and a famous rock musician. Meanwhile across the border
in Poland production on a movie about Napoleon is millions
of dollars over-budget, and the producer has gone missing…
Shadows On A Wall tells the story of one of the most
expensive movies ever made, a film which starts out
as a fringe play at the Edinburgh Festival and which
leads to murder and the collapse of a Hollywood studio.
Part mystery, part ironic black-comedy, it is also
a love story of many parts: there is the dramatist who
writes a role for his girl friend and sees it taken
from her; the producer desperate to please his French
wife, a former sex-star: and the growing friendship
between the schoolgirl actress and the young editor.
But mainly it is the story of people in love with movies—and
what really happens when they go on location.
