Plot – Spoilers:
Inspired by the true case of Pamela Smart.
Suzanne has craved one thing ever since she was little – to be on TV. Everything she does, including her relationships, are merely a means to this end. Men are mostly smitten by her and women intimidated, and so, no one ever really gives her a reality check. Meanwhile her ambition snowballs to the point where it’s ready to consume her husband when he threatens to stand in its path.
Despite the melodramatic tone in what is essentially a satirical piece, Gus Van Sant elicits knockout performances from his Hollywood stars (and Alison Folland as Lydia) and as a bonus, includes a memorable scene of James (Joaquin Phoenix) dancing.
My favorite Nicole Kidman film of all time.
Can’t the owner of this site add better descriptions if the movie includes sex scenes for example
If ur offended by sex scenes, then u shouldnt be on this site. How about Disney channel, lol.
Exactly. There are some things in this world that I hate; A braggart Man, a know it all Woman, a lying child, an I’ll tempered pet…but nothing is as abominable as a Prudish ANYTHING!
Same here, bro. I think I know someone in each category you mentioned. Some ppl are so shallow.
fuck yeah
Super bonus – Music from Nailbomb!
Fuck yeah! One of the best Grindcore bands ever! Horns to you and your good taste! \m/
“One of the best Grindcore bands ever” … (Nailbomb, a Grindcore band) … “Horns” ROTFLMFAO
Interesting movie.
one of my fav’s
I’m surprised to see one of my favorite movies from the 90’s on here, as it’s more of a true crime drama/character study than a typical fucked up movie, but it’s worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it nonetheless. You have great actors/actresses, a great director, a score by Danny Elfman, a cameo from David Cronenberg; and a storyline that’s still relevant today. Need I say more?
