Mesmerising comedy starring Michael Douglas , Tobey Maguire and Frances McDormand. Middle-aged college professor Grady Tripp has an awful lot on his mind - his wife has just left him, his lover is pregnant, and he's struggling to complete his long-overdue second novel. But his messy life is further complicated by the arrival at a faculty party of James, a troubled but talented student who just happens to be carrying a gun. Review page 60.
