20th Century Fox NZ – Oscar-winner Warren Beatty’s unique artistic vision propels this smart, entertaining comedy described by USA Today as “a breezy affair that hits a retro sweet spot.”
It’s Hollywood, 1958. An aspiring actress and her ambitious driver struggle with the absurd eccentricities of the billionaire movie mogul Howard Hughes (Warren Beatty), for whom they work.
Small town beauty queen Marla Mabrey (Lily Collins), arrives in Los Angeles, under contract to Hughes. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Alden Ehrenreich). Their instant attraction defies Hughes’ No 1 rule: no romance between employees.
This unconventional comedy offers a window into the often surreal realm of Hughes the unpredictable yet genius recluse, while wrestling with the moral code of the times. As Marla and Frank are drawn deeper into this bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.
Rules Don’t Apply is in NZ cinemas on 27th April, 2017.
