The film is based on Tony Kushner’s award winning epic play about the Aid’s epidemic in Ragan era America. It features brilliant acting, continuous fast topical dialogue and heaps of magical visualizations. I’ve only seen the film once and I know it would take more viewings to reap even the simplest offerings from this six hour masterpiece.

Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeffrey Wright, Justin Kirk and Patrick Wilson: Directed by Mike Nichols
