State and Main

State and Main

David Mamet’s 2000 satirical comedy about a film production that disrupts a small Vermont town, featuring Julia Stiles as the local young woman caught up in the chaos. The ensemble includes William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sarah Jessica Parker. Stiles’ sly, knowing performance held its own among heavyweight company in one of Mamet’s most accessible films.
