Michael J. Fox plays a sympathetic Cocaine addict in the movie of Jay McInerney 's popular Novel ''Bright Lights, Big City'', the book that famously chronicled the coke- and cash-fueled era of the 1980s . Jamie Conway (Fox) works as a fact-checker for a major New York Magazine , but because he spends his nights partying with his glib best friend (Kiefer Sutherland), he's on the verge of getting fired. His wife, a fast-rising Model (Phoebe Cates), just left him; he's still reeling from the death of his mother ( Dianne Wiest ) a year earlier; and he's obsessed with a Tabloid story about a Pregnant woman in a Coma . The movie captures some of the glossy chaos of the time and of a man desperately trying to escape the pain in his life. EXTERNAL LINKS |
