DescriptionArent You Gonna Die Someday? explores the deceptions and veiled truths lurking within a film that has haunted author Patrick Cooper for nearly a decade: Elaine Mays Mikey and Nicky. Called both a masterpiece and a celluloid death wish upon its release in 1976, Mikey and Nicky is an astonishingly dark work in the oeuvre of legendary comedienne-filmmaker Elaine May. This book examines Mays tragic film scene-by-scene, digging up the titular friends long-buried truths in an attempt to get at the heart of their lies.Along the way, Cooper offers behind the scenes insight and anecdotes, gathered from interviews and research, as well as never before seen set photos. Weaved together with this detailed look at the film are autobiographical threads in which Cooper uses Mikey and Nicky as a lens to examine toxic friendships from his own past. A tapestry of film history, reconstruction, and personal reflection, Arent You Gonna Die Someday? is an unexpected look at a wholly unique American film.
