SSIFF Review: James Franco’s Wacky Old Hollywood Fable ‘Zeroville’

Zeroville Review

There’s no place like old Hollywood… Zeroville is actor / writer / director James Franco’s latest cinematic endeavor, a feature film adapted from Steve Erickson’s novel of the same name, a dream-like story that starts out in 1969 and drifts into the 1970s in Hollywood. Franco’s film is as wacky and as weird as expected, especially considering James Franco has been churning out films (as a director) by the dozen over the last few years, and yet none of them seem to make any real impact. The Disaster Artist being one of the few exceptions. Has anyone seen any of his last two – Future World or The Pretenders?
