Paul Schrader plays an aging alcoholic slowly drinking himself to death as penance for his former racism, so feeble that he can barely lift a glass of beer anymore.

[This idea literally came to me in a dream, so vivid and fully-formed that I didn’t even think to question filmmaker Paul Schrader’s presence as a lead actor.

The preceding text was copied and pasted directly from my Notes app, with only minor edits for clarity.]
