Review of The Ice Storm (1997) by Bryanh. — 04 Feb 2007
By far the best film ever, not to have been nominated for best film. It was Kevin Kline's best work to date and Ang Lee established himself as the most sensitive director alive. The entire cast was flawless.
The cinematography and soundtrack left me yearning for more, though the catharsis brought to bear was complete! It captures a glimpse of the disco era (minus the disco) that you will never see again. The warmth of its meaning made up for the sometimes cold Connecticut bourgeoisie.
Despite it's icy backdrop, it heats the screen with a humanity and reality I have rarely seen on or off the screen.
