Thumbsucker
Even though the Sony Pictures Classics' Thumbsucker
starring Lou Pucci, Tilda Swinton, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onofrio, Keanu
Reeves, Benjamin Bratt, Kelli Garner and Chase Offerle has already hit theatres,
it is good to have clips. In this latest media release, we get to meet the
cast of the indie film.
Thumbsucker Q&A Footage
Besides having questions answered by a majority
of the cast from Thumbsucker, the latest movie clip features tons
of shots from the film itself.
Justin Cobb (Lou Pucci) still sucks his thumb at 17. He wants to stop and
knows that his thumbsucking is disrupting his family, his love life and
his identity. The only thing that changes his behavior is hypnosis therapy
administered by his "guru" orthodontist. But while Justin felt
this would solve all his problems and he would finally be "normal,"
his troubles were really just beginning. Thumbsucking was only a symptom
of a deep-seated fear: that he and his father aren't good enough for his
mother, and that she would leave them. Thumbsucking was the only way to
soothe this fear. Once that is gone Justin spirals into manic behavior,
is diagnosed with ADHD and put on Ritalin, which becomes a substitute for
his thumb. When the high of the prescription drugs and a newfound success
at school crash, Justin turns to pot and sex to replace his thumb.
