Plot: A drama that swoops in on Empire Falls, an economically depressed mill town in Maine, and lifetime resident Miles Roby (Harris), who's run the town's top restaurant for some twenty years. Miles is surrounded by his newly thin wife (Hunt), meddling father (Newman), and hostile boss (Woodward).
Adaptation on HBO of the critically acclaimed novel by Richard Russo, I really wanted to read this but I guess it won't happen now that I've watched this, I have this thing about not reading source material of movie adaptations.. if I ever do I'd try Palahniuk's Fight Club Pretty solid, Harris is very good in the main character of Miles, all angst ridden and full of regrets and secrets The movie is divided in two parts. The first one is an exposition of sort, on the small town of Empire Falls, Miles and his ties to a powerful family, the memory of his mother In the 2nd part, Miles becomes aware of a deep secret involving her mother and tries to take charge of his life, a terrible tragedy shakes up the community and resets things up a bit for everyone Happy ending, mostly Last Updated 11/13/2005 2:09:46 PM 4hr 00min / Directed by Fred Schepisi / Starring Ed Harris, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Helen Hunt, Paul Newman, Robin Wright Penn, Aidan Quinn, Danielle Panabaker / Language: English / Watched: DVD Also by Fred Schepisi - filmography (2 movies)
