“Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it...” From director Sam Mendes comes the modern cinematic masterpiece American Beauty. The film follows a middle class suburban family that begins falling apart. Featuring Kevin Spacey, Mena Suvari, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, and Annette Bening, the casting is exceptional; Spacey in particular gives an extraordinary performance. Additionally, the visual style is stunning; making excellent use of cinematography and set design. And, composer Thomas Newman provides an amazing score that’s emotionally powerful. A touching film that looks beneath the superficiality of life, American Beauty is a remarkably compelling drama.
