Set amongst a tapestry of fairytale excess, Michael is reared and mentored by a black maid Annie Mae. Michael is surrounded by dysfunctional, quirky, upscale family and friends. Annie Mae is the "mother" that navigates Michael through hilarious perplexing complications. Michael juggles lovers, Kelly the conniving 1st wife, Dorian the gold digging 2nd wife, Marc the easy going effeminate 1st gay lover and Robin the drug addled manipulative 2nd gay lover, all the while haunted by his deceased girlfriend Gardenia who happens to be Anie Mae's niece. Matters are greatly complicated when Kennedy Gamble the butler and Michael's half brother meddles with the family and their finances.
Directed by Patrick McEveety, Southern Dyscomfort leans on a strong ensemble — Robyn Von Arx, Lynne Newton, DH Lewis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2012.
