Film “Sal” režisera James Franka govori o poslednjim danima holivudskog glumca Sal Minea ( Val Lauren) koji je 50-tih godina kao tinejdžerski idol bio nominovan za Academy Award nagradu za ulogu u filmu “Rebel Without a Cause and Exsodus” (1955).
Dvadeset godina nakon toga (1976), kada je njegova popularnost sasvim izblijedela, ubijen je u jednoj garaži kao outovani homoseksualac.

Iako je Val Lauren sjajno odglumio ovog glumca iz filma o James Deanu, film je najkraće aaarečeno dosadan. Gomila bespotrebnih scena i beskonači telefonski razgovori će vas naprosto natjerati da film premotavate skoro do samog kraja.

James Franco’s Sal chronicles the final day in the life of actor Sal Mineo (Val Lauren), 1950s teen idol and an Academy Award (R) nominee for his roles in Rebel Without a Cause and Exodus. Almost two decades later, Mineo is no longer the marquee sensation he had once been – but he has become open about his homosexuality and is finding his way to becoming the actor and director he has always wanted to be. Featuring a magnetic performance by Lauren, Franco’s intimate portrait finds the human details in a larger-than-life Hollywood story.
