As an actor, I finally realize I can no longer separate a scene from a play and the realities of real life. They are one and the same. —Al Pacino as Simon Axler, The Humbling
In The Humbling, legendary stage actor Simon Axler (legendary Al Pacino) suddenly and inexplicably loses his ability to perform, plunging him into a profound depression. In an effort to regain his gift, he embarks on an affair with Pegeen (Greta Gerwig), an iconoclastic woman half his age, who happens to be both a lesbian and the daughter of Simon’s old friends. Much comedic havoc ensues in both their lives.
Oscar®-winning director Barry Levinson directs Oscar-winning actor Pacino and Golden Globe-nominee Gerwig, plus Nina Arianda, Dylan Baker, Charles Grodin, Dan Hedaya, Billy Porter, Kyra Sedgwick, Dianne Wiest and Mary Louise Wilson.
Buck Henry and Michal Zebede’s screenplay is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by renowned author Philip Roth, two-time recipient of the National Book Award, three-time recipient of the PEN/Faulkner Award and winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize.
