American Beauty

Film Description

Multi-Oscar winning debut by British director Sam Mendes. Alan Ball's screenplay is both a darkly comic examination of American surburan dysfunction and an optimistic paean to the human soul in our cynical age. Featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Kevin Spacey, this is a definite rarity - an antidote to Hollywood commercialism made within the studio system itself.
