American Beauty

En fintonad film som med träffsäkerhet går rakt in i hjärtat.

An incisive, deliriously funny and profound vision of the American Dream hitting meltdown.

...is a comedy because we laugh at the absurdity of the hero's problems. And a tragedy because we can identify with his failure--not the specific details, but the general outline.

...sometimes amuses in its attempts to expose the grotesqueries of suburban life.

...is a profoundly satisfying piece of cinema which works its way inside you, grabs hold of your heart and simply refuses to let go.
