A Hollywood movie that’s not afraid to tackle the race
issue - head on. From the writer of Million Dollar Baby
comes this incendiary multi-strand drama in the style pioneered
by Robert Altman in such films as Nashville and Short Cuts.
Over two days the lives of a police detective, drugged-out
mother and thieving son, racist cop, Persian immigrant family
and many more, interweave as they try to negotiate the melting
pot that is LA. With a host of big names: Sandra Bullock,
Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser this is not glossy
entertainment, but a provocative
and intelligent exploration of modern America.
"hyper-articulate, often breathtakingly
intelligent and always brazenly alive, though
not for the fainthearted" David Denby, The New Yorker
