Product Information
AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence. Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times. On a whim, Lester quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting weights, smoking pot, doing nothing, and discovering the overflowing sexuality of his 16-year-old daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), has her own midlife crisis of sorts. A real estate agent, she experiences a youthful awakening when super-agent Buddy Kane (Peter Gallagher) seduces her repeatedly. Meanwhile, Jane (Thora Birch), the Burnhams' daughter, is pursued by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the mysterious boy next door who carries a video camera around with him at all times. When Ricky's militaristic father, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper), discovers something potentially horrifying on one of his tapes, and when Carolyn's rage for Lester's actions boils over, the time bomb finally explodes.Product Identifiers

American beauty is an excellent film. I ...
American beauty is an excellent film. I look forward to watching it. My favourite films are family dramas. Such a shame that actor Kevin Spacey ruined his own career, such a good actor, before he throw it all away. Perhaps one day, Kevin will be back on the big screen, and will hopefully have more common sense.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best movie EVER.
This is my favourite movie of all time. Saw it 9 times at the cinema. All the actors are superbly cast. Annette Bening was robbed on oscar night in my opinion. Her performance is funny, sad, shocking. Everything about it is classy, the music, the lighting, the direction. LOVE IT.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
