&Privé HD premieres ‘Rebel in The Rye’on 15th September

From the multi-faceted director and writer Danny Strong comes a beautifully penned tale of the legendary author – J.D. Salinger. While the author is popular for his coming of age novel ‘Catcher in The Rye’, little is known about him and his life. &Privé HD, the premium destination for nuanced cinema, is all set to premiere the biographical drama of J.D. Salinger - ‘Rebel in The Rye’ on Saturday, 15th September at 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm. In his directorial debut, Danny Strong traces the intricate details of the author’s life with the gifted actor Nicholas Hoult playing the protagonist. The film also features Kevin Spacey, Zoey Deutch, Sarah Paulson, Brian d'Arcy James, Victor Garber, Hope Davis, and Lucy Boynton in memorable performances.

Set against the backdrop of the vibrant 20^th century New York, ‘Rebel in The Rye’ portrays how Salinger’s fear of mediocrity makes him eventually alienate himself from public life rather than subject his work to mainstream scrutiny. As he struggles to find his voice, the story unveils the many defining moments that shaped the author’s life. From his love affair with the well-known socialite Oona O'Neill (Zoey Deutch) to his time in World War II, the movie takes the viewer though the journey that ultimately led to the publishing of ‘CATCHER IN THE RYE’.

Despite instant fame and success coming his way, what makes Salinger such a recluse?
