At an elegant dinner party in a swanky hilltop home, conversation between a softspoken holistic healer (Salma Hayek) and a hard-nosed businessman (John Lithgow) explodes into a bitter clash of cultures in BEATRIZ AT DINNER, the latest provocative film from director Miguel Arteta and screenwriter Mike White. Exploring the widening gulf between the world’s haves and havenots with fierce insight and unexpected humor, BEATRIZ AT DINNER addresses contemporary controversies, from economic inequality and conservation to the necessity of simple human kindness.
