ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Golden Globe nominee Joseph Gordon-Levitt (INCEPTION, 50/50) directs, writes and stars in DON JON, in which he "takes an intriguing subject - human attraction - and nimbly probes it with wit, insight and a disarming forthrightness" (USA Today). Wrestling with good unrealistic relationship expectations, Jon (Gordon-Levitt) and Barbara (Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson) struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy.

SYNOPSIS

New Jersey bartender Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) knows what’s important: his friends, his family, his car, his church, his sexual conquests – and porn. In fact, Jon is a porn addict and has never had a genuine relationship with a woman. However, when he meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) he has to change his operating methods, because Barbara won’t be bedded easily. For the first time in his life, Jon begins a real courtship, but his obsession with erotica threatens to ruin everything.
