Want to Buy Some Illusions?
Magdalen is a tavern in Scheherazade, a prostitute who sells stories in a seedy Philadelphia dive bar. Her clients include Mr. Jones, an angry black businessman who wants to hear the same graphic, sexual fantasy every night; Jace, a droll, Mishima-loving slacker/writer looking for an ending to his novel; Phil, a precocious skater-boy who wants to understand his dead father; and Edward, a shy 53-year old virgin looking for love.
Alix D. Smith is Magdalen McElhinney, a tough, brainy femme noir, whose name suggests that the film’s director is the father she talks about obsessively. In a solo session with a video camera, Magdalen´s one stab at self-narration rapidly morphs from self-portrait into a portrait of the filmmaker - brilliant, destructive, God-identified, narcissistic and absent from her existence.
Littered with literary and cinematic allusions, the film´s unreliable narrators makeMagdalen part Warholian confessional and part Brechtian taproom comedy.
