Plot: RICK is a moral tale that takes its plot from the opera Rigoletto. Curtiss Clayton, a veteran film editor with over 25 films under his belt, including work with Gus Van Sant (DRUGSTORE COWBOY, TO DIE FOR) and Vincent Gallo (BUFFALO 66), makes his directorial debut with this New York thriller/black comedy/satire – and indictment of corporate American culture -- starring Bill Pullman in a skillfully layered performance as Rick O'Lette, a middle-aged corporate climber who has lost sight of his humanity and plummets into a nightmare that will ultimately cause him to lose the one thing he loves the most. RICK was written by Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket, the author of the popular children's book series that has been adapted for the screen by Paramount Pictures as LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS starring Jim Carrey. RICK is stylishly photographed by the award-winning cinematographer Lisa Rinzler (THREE SEASONS, POLLOCK, MENACE II SOCIETY).RICK opens with Bill Pullman's character arriving at his office, a Wall Street marble mausoleum serving as the headquarters of the Image Corporation, a soulless capitalist outfit with the motto "We Can Do This" emblazoned on the lobby wall. The embodiment of corporate executive male arrogance, Rick proceeds to meet Michelle
