About this product
Product Information
With LEAVING LAS VEGAS, director Mike Figgis spun critical gold out of what would appear to be a maudlin and hackneyed premise--a down-and-out drunk meets a hooker with a heart of gold. The reason for the film's success lies partly in its refusal to moralize, but mostly it is the strong performances of Nicholas Cage and Elisabeth Shue that make the story believable and poignant. Ben Sanderson (Cage) is a Hollywood screenwriter who has become an alcoholic. After being fired, he takes his severance pay to Las Vegas, where he plans to drink himself to death. There he meets Sera (Shue), a streetwise prostitute who responds both to Ben's wild antics and to his absolute gentleness. What Sera needs most is to be needed, and Ben needs her a lot. Figgis uses his whole bag of tricks--Sera talks to the camera, the exteriors are shot in grainy 16mm--but finally it is the perfectly-conceived relationship between these two wounded people that drew the rave reviews. The film was based on a novel by John O'Brien.Product Identifiers

ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - ...[Cage's Academy] award was earned ten times over..., Sight and Sound - ...[Shue holds] her own against Cage, matching him in pain and desolation if not in intensity..., USA Today - "...Haunting....[Shue and Cage] are excellent..." -- 3 out of 4 stars, Rolling Stone - ...A uniquely hypnotic and haunting love story sparked by Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue at their career best..., Variety - ...Unrelenting in its vision, the artistic tour de force by director Mike Figgis is a descent into the abyss....Cage is in top form....Shue is equally skillful...
