Behind the Candelabra
Behind the Candelabra is a 2013 drama directed by Steven Soderbergh
and based on Scott Thorson’s 1988 memoir ‘Behind the Candelabra: My
Life with Liberace’.
Liberace, a virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer and flamboyant star
of stage and television was a world-renowned performer with a flair that
endeared him to his audiences and created a loyal fan base spanning
his 40-year career. In summer 1977, handsome young stranger Scott
Thorson walked into his dressing room and, despite their age difference
and seemingly different worlds, the two embarked on a secretive five-year
love affair.
Starring Michael Douglas as world-famous pianist Liberace and Matt
Damon as the much-younger Scott Thorson, the movie takes a behindthe-scenes look at their tempestuous relationship from their first meeting
backstage at the Las Vegas Hilton to their bitter and public break-up.
