101 Films presents acclaimed cult drama Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), widely regarded as one of the finest films of the 90s. Adapted for the screen by David Mamet from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the compelling, witty, and endlessly quotable script is delivered with razor-sharp precision by an ensemble cast at the height of their powers.
A group of Chicago real-estate salesmen-cum-con artists live on the edge. Life is good for the one on a roll. For the rest, life hangs in the balance. There is no room for losers. A-B-C: Always Be Closing, sell or go under, is the salesman’s mantra. With the pressure on, so begins a rainy night of cutthroat business and shattered lives. Delivering an Academy Award® nominated performance. Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) plays the fast-talking Ricky Roma, alongside Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot, The Apartment) giving a phenomenal performance as the veteran Shelley “The Machine” Levene, struggling to keep his neck above water. A star-studded ensemble cast features Alec Baldwin (The Cooler) Ed Harris (Apollo 13, Pollock) and Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Argo).
