Garbo Talks

1984Sidney Lumet

4.3/5

Estelle is a one-person protest army: she goes to jail over grocery prices, shames construction workers for catcalling at passing women, and won't cross a picket line for her son's wedding. She also loves Garbo films: when she learns she has a brain tumor and six months to live, she decides she must meet Garbo. Her dutiful son Gilbert, a Manhattan accountant named for Garbo's co-star, hires a paparazzo to show him Garbo's flat, stakes it out, gets a job delivering food there, seeks her on Fire Island, and tracks her to a Sixth Avenue flea market. As his obsession distances him from his wife, he's drawn to a struggling actress he meets at work. Can he find Garbo? If so, will she talk?

If you like Garbo Talks, you might also like 1984 Films, 1980s American Films, Films Produced By Elliott Kastner, and Films Scored By Cy Coleman.
