About this product

Product Information

Inspired by a real-life experience of author Armistead Maupin (on whose book the film is based), THE NIGHT LISTENER is a dark drama that derives its strengths as much from the places it doesn't go as the places it does. Spare and tense, it tells the story of Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams), a storyteller with a national late-night radio show. Gay and recovering from a breakup with his much younger lover, Jess (Bobby Cannavale), Gabriel is experiencing writer's block. His life takes on a strange new wrinkle, though, when a literary agent (Joe Morton) passes on a manuscript he's received from a young fan of Gabriel's--an AIDS-stricken 14-year-old boy, Pete (Rory Culkin), who has written a detailed account of the prolonged sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of his parents and their friends. Gabriel develops a friendly phone relationship with the boy, but soon senses that something is unusual about Pete and his caretaker, Donna (Toni Collette), and ventures to Wisconsin to figure out exactly what's going on.With its pure and streamlined narrative, THE NIGHT LISTENER sidesteps the showy pitfalls that derail many modern thrillers. Fueled by subdued performances from Williams, whose manic energy is all but invisible, and Collette, whose chameleon-like brilliance has never been more in evidence, the film has obvious echoes of Hitchcock, as well as strange parallels to 2005's JT LeRoy literary scandal. Once Noone arrives in Wisconsin, an all-enveloping sense of unease starts in on a slow burn, and remote locations are used to great effect. Williams has a scene in a hospital that couldn't be further from PATCH ADAMS, and by the quiet conclusion, you will be wondering if maybe you should be a little less trustful of strangers, especially if they're big fans of your work.

Robin Williams Playing the Lead in Maupin's True Story
Armistead Maupin turns his novel into a scrutiny of a person's degenerating mind & the disturbing ways they toy with reality. A viewer can't be certain where truth stops & delusions begin. Maupin co-wrote the autobiographical screenplay adaptation with Terry Anderson & director Patrick Stettner. It was released August 4th, 2006. It flies by at under 90 mins. short. Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) is a popular gay writer who reads the "fiction of his life" on a late night talk show in hushed, nearly hypnotic, intonations. Due, in part, to a sense of devastating loss of his lover of 8 years, Jess (Bobby Cannavale), Noone's in a state of writer's block. He nursed Jess for years through a health crisis with AIDS; but, now that Jess is in remission & wants to be free to sow wild oats, Noone ...

Due, in part, to a sense of devastating loss of his lover of 8 years, Jess (Bobby Cannavale), Noone's in a state of writer's block. He nursed Jess for years through a health crisis with AIDS; but, now that Jess is in remission & wants to be free to sow wild oats, Noone feels depressed & discarded. A literary agent Ashe (Joe Morton) gives Noone a book to read written by a 14yo boy, Pete Logand (Rory Culkin). Logand's story details years of being sexually molested & consequently having to live with AIDS in foster care with a social worker, Donna (Toni Collette). Noone finds Logand's story fascinating enough to distract him from his own mid-life crisis. In contrast, the boy's dilemma makes Noone's seem minor. Logand & Donna become Noone's fans as they enter into dialogue via phone. After Noone tells Logand's story to Jess, Jess plants the seed of doubt of potential fraud. Noone begins to wonder if Logand exists. So, he heads for Wisconsin to uncover the truth. He meets Donna & learns some of their secrets, but doesn't get to meet Logand. Based on real events that happened to Armistead Maupin, the brevity of the movie keeps the action moving & plot clear. As usual in this part of my reviews, I shant go any further into the story. I believe "The Night Listener" will be most intriguing to viewers who know Maupin's prior stories & personal history. Terrific acting by Williams, Collette, Cannavale, Culkin & a swell supporting cast make this DVD a very good one to own.

Is he real or is he not?
AAdapted from Armistead Maupin's book, this tale is based on an experience Maupin actually had. Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) finds his relationship falling apart just as he begins a long distance phone and mail relationship with a young boy who purportedly was abused and is in the last stages of AIDS. Noone's borderline lover (John Cullum) plants the seeds of doubt about whether the boy's tale is true or not which leads Noone on a significant trip to find out the truth. Toni Collette plays the disturbed blind woman who is giving foster care to the young boy and Sandra Oh plays Noone's confidant. Robin Williams is outstanding! .AAdapted from Armistead Maupin's book, this tale is based on an experience Maupin actually had.

It is self-explanatory.
Toni Colette's character showed how easy it is for mentally ill people to "pull a fast one" on others.

ROBIN WILLIAMS IN A DRAMA
Robin Williams does a great job - in this based on a true story - of a boy who may or may not excist - he sets out to find the truth - very believable - very well acted - unfortunatly in my opinion there could be more of his love story with the partner he is breaking up with - and a real kiss wouldn't have hurt - because it was Robin Williams i expected him to play that part of his life a little more real - but still over all - great movieRobin Williams does a great job - in this based on a true story - of a boy who may or may not excist - he sets out to find the truth - very believable - very well acted - unfortunatly in my opinion there could be more of his love story with the partner he is breaking up with - and a real kiss wouldn't have hurt - because it was Robin Williams i expected him to play that part of his life a little more real - but still over all - great movie
