Adapted from the bewitching play by renowned writer David Hare (Academy Award??? nominee for The Hours), My Zinc Bed is a searing examination of passion, obsession, and the search for redemption. This intimate film centers on young poet Paul (Paddy Considine), a recovering alcoholic committed to AA; billionaire businessman Victor (Jonathan Pryce), who befriends and employs him; and Victor??s young wife Elsa (Uma Thurman), who has adopted a mind-over-matter approach to overcoming her own struggles with addiction. The story builds in intensity over the course of a single summer, as Victor offers up a series of temptations that alter Paul??s chosen course of treatment, and Paul and Elsa begin a romantic entanglement that exposes their inner demons and challenges their beliefs. With wit, drama, and pathos, My Zinc Bed explores themes of faith, friendship, and fidelity with deep emotional resonance that heightens the story from beginning to end.
