Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bright Lights, Big City is a 1988 drama film directed by James Bridges and starring Michael J. Fox. It was adapted from the eponymous novel by Jay McInerney, who also wrote the film's screenplay.Jamie Conway is a man in free fall. Once upon a time he arrived in New York with dreams of literary success, but he has found himself stuck in an unrewarding job as a fact-checker for a literary magazine, his wife has left him to embrace a career as an international model, his mother has died, and his twin cocaine and alcohol habits are wrecking his life. The narrative follows him in the course of a week or so, as he careens towards rock bottom.The film, like the novel, is a nonjudgemental but candid depiction of the drug-fueled lifestyle of 1980s New York yuppies. | |
