Robin Williams, who passed away last year, will be seen in his final film performance in BOULEVARD, which opens in New York today, July 10, at the Sunshine Landmark theater.

BOULEVARD follows married but closeted 60-year-old bank employee Nolan (Williams) whose spontaneous turn down an Unknown street upends his monotonous life and crumbling marriage. After picking up a young hustler, Nolan finds himself on a journey of self-discovery and must confront the secrets he has kept hidden from his wife (Kathy Baker) and himself. Nolan's dramatic decision to rethink his own identity holds with it the promise of happiness and salvation for both he and his wife in this touching and inspiring film.

From acclaimed director Dito Montiel, BOULEVARD features an ensemble cast that includes Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) and Roberto Aguire (Struck by Lightning) in a breakout performance.
