Linus Sandgren
A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper).  DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia thatÂ’s as dangerous as it is enchanting.  Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. IrvingÂ’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. RussellÂ’s previous films, American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.

Directed by David O. Russell.  Written by Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell.  Produced by Charles Roven, Richard Suckle, Megan Ellison, and Jonathan Gordon.

  • Quotes
    [on shooting most of First Man (2018) on 16mm] We shot the spacecrafts on 35mm for the camera test, which we thought we were going to do, then we felt it looked too good. It looked too much like a movie. It didn't feel as authentic and real as the inspiration, which was [NASA's] actual footage that we'd screened. To be authentic '60s, to be emotionally connected as well, the grain and 16mm softness is something we felt was more human and connected with them, while the moon was so far away. [2018]
