Nightingale

An official selection of the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival, this HBO Films® presentation is a fascinating portrait of one man’s descent into the delusions of a fractured mind. David Oyelowo (Selma, Lee Daniels’The Butler, Lincoln) gives a spellbinding, roller-coaster ride of a performance as Peter, the sole character in the film, a war veteran who lives in a nondescript ranch home with his mother and shares an ongoing monologue with himself-and the audience-via his laptop’s video recorder. Told with incisive imagery, energy and humor, Nightingale is a compassionate depiction of isolation in the midst of a world ruled by social media.
