This Friday, Richard Gere is back on the big screen, playing the title role in writer and director Joseph Cedar’s clever, character-driven comedy-drama Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.
Norman Oppenheimer (Gere) lives a lonely life in the margins of New York City power and money, a would-be operator dreaming up financial schemes that never come to fruition.
As he has nothing real to offer, Norman strives to be everyone’s friend, but his incessant networking leads him nowhere.
