The crime thriller Live By Night is the new film by Oscar-winner Ben Affleck, who, in the style of Orson Welles, practically took care of everything himself. He adapted the script, directed, co-produced and starred in the film. It is his fourth film as a director and his first since the Oscar-winning Argo (2012). It is based on the book proposal of the same name by the writer Dennis Lehane, to whom Affleck already resorted when he made the critically acclaimed film Goodbye, Girl. The story takes place during the American Prohibition era, and Affleck plays the son of a Boston police officer who has turned from a smuggler into a ruthless gangster.
The movie Live By Night takes us to the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, during American Prohibition, if by chance you were not able to figure it out already from the assignment Ben Affleck. In addition to Affleck, who also directed the film, it also stars Zoe Saldana, Brendan Gleeson, Ellen Fanning, Sienna Miller, Chris Cooper and others.
