Bright Lights, Big City

"Bright Lights, Big City" follows Jamie Conway, a disillusioned fact-checker for a New York magazine, as he navigates the city's vibrant nightlife amid his struggles with alienation, drug use, and a failing marriage. The film explores themes of escapism, self-destruction, and the search for meaning amidst urban chaos. Jamie's journey serves as a reflection of the excesses and emptiness of 1980s yuppie culture.
