[tps_header]1990s: The End of the Tour[/tps_header]
We end the century not with a bang, but on a more quiet, meditative retrospective on two individuals. The End of the Tour is a low-key depiction of the real life encounter between Rolling Stones editor David Lipsky and the late David Foster Wallace, prior to the publication of his colossally successful novel, “Infinite Jest.” It’s not showy or bombastic, but The End of the Tour remains one of the years most interesting screenplays and conversational pieces. It’s a remarkable film, exposing the very mind behind a novel which had defined a postmodern nineteen-nighties for a great many people.
