This documentary follows the efforts of the TYSON director James Toback and actor Alec Baldwin to gather finance for a potential film at last year's Cannes market. It's a unique look behind the curtain at the world's biggest film festival. Cannes-bound documentary Seduced and Abandoned combines acting legend Alec Baldwin with Oscar nominated Director James Toback (Tyson) as they lead us on a troublesome and often hilarious journey of raising financing for their next feature film. Moving from director to financier to star actor, the two players provide us with a unique look behind the curtain at the world's biggest and most glamourous film festival, shining a light on the bitter-sweet relationship filmmakers have with Cannes and the film business. Featuring insights from directors Martin Scorsese, Bernando Bertolucci and Roman Polanski; actors Ryan Gosling and Jessica Chastain and a host of film distribution luminaries.
