Talk Radio- A Tribute for Ellen Greene
Oliver Stone
110 minutes
The film of legendary director Oliver Stone brings to the screen the story of Barry Champlain (Eric Bogosian), an on-air radio personality who likes to push buttons and the envelope. Barry has gained widespread popularity by being controversial, and now his show is going national. But while enjoying his professional success, his personal life is unraveling: he is still battling with his ex-wife, Ellen (played by Ellen Greene), while being flooded with hate mail. As he goes on the air for a lengthy and intense session, a call from a deranged listener just may change everything.
