Robert Towne is a portrait of the legendary Hollywood script writer, director, producer, and actor. In Sarah Morris’s film, the camera alternates between a panoramic view of a city and intimate views of the individual portrayed. In this way, she examines Towne’s person through the lens of his work, which reveals the darkness underlying the shiny surface of modern-day America.
