Detailed item info
Movie description
AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence. Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times. On a whim, Lester quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting weights, smoking pot, doing nothing, and discovering the overflowing sexuality of his 16-year-old daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), has her own midlife crisis of sorts. A real estate agent, she experiences a youthful awakening when super-agent Buddy Kane (Peter Gallagher) seduces her repeatedly. Meanwhile, Jane (Thora Birch), the Burnhams' daughter, is pursued by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the mysterious boy next door who carries a video camera around with him at all times. When Ricky's militaristic father, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper), discovers something potentially horrifying on one of his tapes, and when Carolyn's rage for Lester's actions boils over, the time bomb finally explodes.

Producer:Dan Jinks
Cast:Allison Janney, Barry Del Sherman, Chris Cooper, Mena Suvari, Peter Gallagher, Sam Robards, Wes Bentley

Notes

Editorial reviews
"...Consistently provocative and devilishly amusing....AMERICAN BEAUTY is a real American original..."
Variety - p.40-50 - Todd McCarthy (09/13/1999)

"...Sees beauty in our most common mistakes and failures. This is a masterpiece..." -- 5 out of 5 stars
Premiere - p.99 - Christopher Kelly (06/01/2000)

Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's "Ten Best Movies of 1999" -- "...[A] justly celebrated look at what gets lost in life when we numb ourselves to feeling..."
Rolling Stone - p.63-4 - Peter Travers (01/20/2000)

"...AMERICAN BEAUTY is that rare instance where all the elements of a movie -- story, setting, acting, shot construction -- come together to convey its message..."
Box Office - p.166 - Annlee Ellingson (11/01/1999)

"...Spacey gives sardonic snap to every line he delivers....The movie is a beaut. It's as feeling as it is funny, a quality recent movies seemed to have lost..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (09/15/1999)

"...Unsettling, unnerving, undefinable....BEAUTY is a blood-chilling dark comedy with unexpected moments of both fury and warmth, a strange, brooding and very accomplished film that sets us back on our heels from its opening frames..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/15/1999)

"...Spacey, an actor who embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice, is the right choice for Lester Burnham..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (09/24/1999)

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW BEFORE BIDDING!

This listing is for a factory original video tape, not a bootleg or copy.

This ex-rental video has been checked and plays clearly. It has shelf wear to the case and the expected rental stickers and markings as the only flaws.

Payment is due within 14 days, and if you buy from my eBay store or win additional auctions, we offer greatly reduced shipping/handling rates on all items after the first.

International Buyers – Please Note:
  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
  • Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
  • These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
  • We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
This item is intended for all audiences and may therefore be sold to, used or viewed by minors.
If eBay added pre-filled information to this listing and you are interested in this item solely based upon the specific edition or release information supplied by eBay (and not just because you just want a copy of the book or video), please e-mail me to confirm that the edition/version information is correct. When an item is first listed, the pre-filled catalog information is correct, but each time the system is updated, catalog items are merged, disappear, are reassigned and might otherwise change. I want to ensure that you receive exactly what you want, and I will answer any questions you have.
