Throwback Sundays this week reflects on the theme of suicide, which is the underlying subject of Ryan Andrew Balas' controversial 2nd feature Carter, which we are celebrating in wake of its approaching World Premiere at The Anthology Film Archives on this coming Tuesday, November 24 @8:45 pm, as part of the NewFilmmakers fall series festival.
Leaving Las Vegas
Director: Mike Figgis
Cast: Nicholas Cage, Elizabeth Shue
This drama is about the absolute love between two people that live on society's border who need each other to know that they exist. In this tale, much emphasis is placed on simplicity, spontaneity and directness, so we can focus on the true story without being distracted from the normal every day routines these characters have. A degree of realism is achieved in this movie, because the fact remains that Ben is an alcoholic, although he does drink in extremes where the normal human being would be unconscious, and Sera is a prostitute, so the intense situations and decisions in this movie are reasonably depicted.
