Edmond is a 2005 drama film directed by Stuart Gordon and starring William H. Macy in the lead role. It is adapted from a one-act play by American playwright David Mamet and explores themes of isolation, alienation, and violence.
The beginning of the movie shows Edmond as a seemingly content and successful businessman who is looking for more out of life. After visiting a fortuneteller, he becomes convinced that his life is missing something and decides to leave his wife.
As Edmond ventures out into the city, he encounters a series of people who challenge his beliefs and his sense of identity. He begins to explore the darker side of his personality and becomes increasingly violent and unstable.
Throughout the film, Edmond is confronted with issues of race, power, sexuality, and identity. He is transformed by the experiences he has and ultimately becomes consumed by his own rage and desire for violence.
The film is shot in a gritty, neon-lit style, and the dialogue is sparse and powerful, reflecting the style of Mamet's play. Macy's performance is intense and disturbing, and he brings a compelling sense of transformation to the character of Edmond.
Overall, Edmond is a powerful and thought-provoking film that explores the darker side of human nature and the consequences of our desires and actions.
