Paul Bernbaum has written the story of George Reeves' 1950s TV career as Superman, in parallel with Adrien Brody's private eye investigating his death. Has the feel of Chinatown (even down to Marcelo Darvos' music) with undercurrent of police corruption and Studio manipulation, though it presents different versions of events without resolution in a fairly low key style.
Brody is rather good; so is Diane Lane as his married lover. With Ben Affleck, Bob Hoskins, Robin Tunney and Caroline Dhavernas.
Coulter is largely a TV director, with many episodes of The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire to his credit.
Good quip ensues. Q: "You don't see enough of Adrien Brody."
Me: "Not even in his own films."
(A reference to The Thin Red Line from which he was almost completely excised.)
