Review of Leaving Las Vegas (1995) by Siddhant S — 26 Aug 2009
Dark and Disturbing yet Excellent and Remarkable.Mindblowing performances.Nicholas Cage and Elisabeth Shue give their best-ever.Leaving Las Vegas borrows from Greek mythology, obliquely mirroring the tragedy and pathos of Orpheus' failed attempt to rescue his dead wife, Eurydice, from Hades. Mike Figgis obliges us with a helpful hint in the scene where Nicolas Cage gives Elizabeth Shue a present of earrings.Beautiful cinematography.Don't miss out on this heavily toxic tale!
P.S. - Watch it at your own risk!
