I Melt with You

Richard, Thomas Jane, Ron, Jeremy Piven, Jonathan, Rob Lowe, and Tim, Christian McKay, are a close-knit group of college friends who embark on an annual retreat to Big Sur each year to celebrate Tim’s birthday and reconnect with one another. At first glance, they appear to be ordinary men in their forties, each juggling the demands of careers, families, and the responsibilities of adulthood. However, beneath the surface lies a more complex reality.

As the festivities unfold throughout the week, the friends find themselves spiraling into a world of hedonism. They indulge in excessive drug use accompanied by an energizing rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack, and their parties with significantly younger women quickly escalate into chaos. This wild escapade leaves them feeling utterly exhausted, leading to a raw unveiling of their true selves—a moment where their seemingly light-hearted reunion takes a far more sinister turn.

When an old promise from their past resurfaces, the consequences of their choices starkly become evident, forever altering the course of their lives. With a striking visual style, director Mark Pellington dives into the intense depths of male identity in I MELT WITH YOU, showcasing provocative performances from Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe, and Christian McKay. The film is a visually captivating and wildly introspective odyssey into the hearts and minds of four friends confronted with their own demons.
