Intoxicating Movie


Dorian Stanley (Kirk Harris) is a young, charismatic heart surgeon with a dark side - he has an insatiable appetite for booze, drugs and one night stands. Though brilliant in the operating room, he violates the ethics of his profession by stealing pharmaceuticals which he barters for cocaine from his friend and dealer, Teddy (Eric Roberts). Further fuelling his downward spiral is the ongoing loss of his father, William (John Savage), a former prizefighter, to Alzheimer's. Since Dorian can heal his patients, but not his own father, he escapes through taking as many substances and having as many one night stands as he can endure. He's been high for so long that his perception of normal life looks and sounds like a nightclub, complete with flashing lights and surreal images. Dorian is given moral support by his girlfriend Megan, and his colleague, the chief of surgery, Dr. Preminger. When he meets Megan's grieving best friend Anna, Dorian is drawn to her beauty and also her sense of tragedy. As he travels through a maze of binges into the heart of addiction, Dorian ultimately recognises that his survival depends on making some radical new life choices before it's too late. The soundtrack features songs from: Cypress Hill, Mopreme, Shakur, Coolio and Mc Eiht.
