Synopsis:

Pity the young, affluent and tragically beautiful, if we are to believe 'Lotus Eaters.' The film, from Alexandra McGuinness, throws you into a hazy nonstop Saturnalia in elegant British surroundings as decadent 20-somethings drink, smoke, copulate, dress up, take drugs and flail with their aspirations and arbitrary passions. Its heroine, Alice (Antonia Campbell-Hughes), wants to leave modeling to be an actress; her ex-boyfriend, Charlie (Johnny Flynn), is giving rehab another shot; Marlon (Alex Wyndham) chases Alice; Suzie (Amber Anderson) frets that she is losing Felix (Benn Northover) to Alice; the somewhat older Orna (a good Cynthia Fortune Ryan) pursues Felix while manipulating Alice; and the hapless Benedict (Liam Browne) is just trying to bed whomever he can.

Shot in seductive black and white, Alexandra McGuinness's Lotus Eaters tracks a posse of pointless rich kids around London, but the result can come across as even more aimless than the antics on screen. Boosted by two noteworthy performances, from Antonia Campbell Hughes and Johnny Flynn, Lotus Eaters should meander around the festival circuit (it bowed in Tribeca, then aired in Taormina and London) before grinding to a halt, prospects for commercial exposure seemingly as slight as the film itself.

A group of young Londoners struggle to find meaning in their lives while masking their discontent with sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll.
