Director Sam Mendes and screenwriter Alan Ball explore themes of dysfunction, redemption, social stature and materialism in American Beauty that they would go on to further explore in Revolutionary Road & Six Feet Under.
It's sad, hilarious, disgusting, scary, lonely, cynical and most of all beautiful. Everything down to the long shots of nothing, memorable visuals both light & dark, the ever changing moods of music, well-rounded cast and thought provoking dialogue make this film what it is.
