The Ice Storm

1997, Movie, 1h 53min

Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While Richard Nixon’s “I am not a crook” speech drones from the TV, the Hood and Carver families try to navigate a Thanksgiving break simmering with unspoken resentment, sexual tension, and cultural confusion. With clarity, subtlety, and a dose of wicked humor, Academy Award–winning director Ang Lee renders Rick Moody’s acclaimed novel of upper-middle-class American malaise as a trenchant, tragic cinematic portrait of lost souls. Featuring a tremendous cast of established actors (Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver) and rising stars (Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Katie Holmes) THE ICE STORM is among the finest films of the 1990s.

This is an almost cringe-makingly detailed trip through middle-class confusion in 1970s Connecticut, beautifully adapted from Rick Moody's highly-regarded novel by Lee's regular producer James Schamus.

Unique and subtle depiction of the unraveling of families set in a time when nothing was as they used to be.

En af de bedste amerikanske indie-film. Ikke en humør-spreder, men dælme god!

En av Ang Lees allra finaste och mest drabbande filmer. Tristessen i förorten och dramatiken mellan vänner och grannar. Kom före American Beauty som förfinade temat om ”köttets lust och själens obotliga ensamhet”…
