"Having submitted his manuscript to his publisher, renowned novelist Martin Frost needs to recharge himself in seclusion. He is loaned a place in the country—where his isolation is short-lived. For his second feature film, American novelist and director Paul Auster plays with the character from his 2002 novel, The Book of Illusion. The incomparable David Thewlis essays the writer looking for peace, and Irene Jacób, Michael Imperioli, and Sophie Auster play his unwelcome guests. Without missing a beat in moving from the page to the screen, Auster's serio-comic fantasy narrative remains mysterious, haunting, and enticing." (New Directors/New Films)
