The Man from Elysian Fields (2001) Andy Garcia Julianna Margulies James Coburn Olivia Williams Angelica Huston
Byron Tiller (Garcia), happily married with Dena (Margulies), is a writer whose last novel has ended up in the remainder bins. Down on his luck and struggling to make ends meet, he keeps bashing away, refusing to admit that perhaps he is not that good. One day he meets someone who has actually read his book: a rather Englishman who introduces himself as Luther Fox (Mick Jagger). Luther runs an escort agency Elysian Fields, which provides extremely wealthy women with attractive, intelligent dates. Desperate for any job and Luther guarantees good pay and convinces him that it can be only temporary Byron reluctantly agrees, keeping the whole thing hidden from his wife. He soon finds himself facetoface with the extremely attractive Andrea Alcott (Williams), whose aging husband is the Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Tobias Alcott (Coburn) grappling with a novel that may be his last. Before long, Byron finds himself immersed in a world that he finds almost impossible to believe and even harder to.
