Bale, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Freida Pinto,
Isabel Lucas, Imogen Poots, Wes Bentley, Brian Dennehy and Teresa Palmer, KNIGHT OF CUPS follows writer
Rick (Bale) on an odyssey through the playgrounds of
Los Angeles and Las Vegas as he undertakes a search
for love and self. Even as he moves through a
desire-laden landscape of mansions, resorts, beaches
and clubs, Rick grapples over complicated
relationships with his brother (Bentley) and father
(Dennehy). His quest to break the spell of his disenchantment takes him on a series of adventures with six
