A crystal-meth addict struggles to get his next fix as he obsesses over a recent breakup in
Spun, a
black-comic drug
drama from music video director
Jonas Akerlund.
Rushmore's
Jason Schwartzman stars as
Ross, a young man who finds his maniacal world crumbling around him over the course of one long weekend.
Spun chronicles
Ross' travails as he tries to score from his regular dealer,
Spider Mike (
John Leguizamo), who realizes during
Ross' visit that he's misplaced his stash. Indisposed by the frantic drug search,
Spider Mike's girlfriend,
Cookie (
Mena Suvari), enlists
Ross to pick up her stripper friend
Nikki (
Brittany Murphy) from work, and when he grudgingly agrees, he learns that
Nikki might have an inside line on some of her own speed, courtesy of
The Cook (
Mickey Rourke). Meanwhile, two bumbling cops are onto
Spider Mike's trail, and in his paranoid-delusional state, he sets out to find out who set him up.
Spun premiered at the
2002 CineVegas Film Festival before securing berths at the
Sundance,
Toronto, and
South by Southwest festivals.
