About this product

Product Information

On a typical suburban street in a typical suburban town,there is an ordinary family living the American dream. But look closer. Lester Burnham's wife, Carolyn, regards him with contempt, his daughter, Jane, thinks he's a loser, and his boss is positioning him for the ax. Captivated by Jane's sultry high school friend Angela, Lester decides to make a few changes in his mere existence-changes that are less mid-life crisis than a life reclaimed.The freer he gets, the happier he gets, which is even more maddening to his wife and daughter. Complicating matters, Lester finds an unexpected ally in Ricky, the teenage son of the new next-door neighbors, who sees life through a camera lens that has lately focused on Jane Burnham. In pursuit of his new vision of the American dream, Lester is about to learn that the ultimate freedom comes at the ultimate price. The 1999 winner of five Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, American Beauty boasts an accomplished cast led by two-time Academy Award® Best Actor winner Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects) and Oscar® nominee Annette Bening (The Grifters).The ensemble cast also includes Thora Birch (Ghost World),Wes Bentley (The Claim), Mena Suvari (American Pie),Peter Gallagher (Mr. Deeds), Allison Janney (NBC's The West Wing), Scott Bakula (NBC's Quantum Leap), Sam Robards (A.I.: Artificial Intelligence), and Chris Cooper (Adaptation).

  • Alan Ball is name we'll hear for centrueis

    "American Beauty" is a screenplay that reads likee a Grisham novel: impossible to put down, full of surprises and able to reach the beach dwellers as well as those waiting for meetings with their Phd advisor. Alan Ball (who created and was responsible for a LOT of "Six Feet Under") had the luck that this masterpiece of a script fell into the hands of Mr. Sam MEdndes, a theatre director who honors the words more than the studios. (Mr Mendes has directed Sondheim) so that what came out of this screenplay was one of the most brilliant films ever. But I'm not going to talk about the film; so many have.
