It was an era when anything could happen … and usually did. At the center of this world is Nick Hart (Keith Carradine, “Nashville”), a struggling painter who makes a meager living drawing caricatures at his favorite café. Nick longs for success and even agrees to forge masterpieces for a wealthy divorcée (Geraldine Chaplin, “Doctor Zhivago”). But what he truly desires is Rachel (Linda Fiorentino, “The Last Seduction”), the alluring wife of an obsessively jealous and lethally dangerous businessman (John Lone, “The Last Emperor”).

Also starring Geneviève Bujold (“Anne of the Thousand Days”) and Wallace Shawn (“My Dinner With Andre”), “The Moderns” is a stylish and witty exploration of the manners and mores within a lost generation. Alan Rudolph also directed “Mrs. Parker And The Vicious Cycle” and “Afterglow.”
