Description

Screen legend Jane Fonda (Coming Home) stars in this vivid, fascinating film as a woman driven to seize her last best chance during the very worst of times. A brilliant achievement by director Sydney Pollack (The Scalphunters), They Shoot Horses, Don t They? is a stunning period piece recognized as one of the most highly acclaimed films of its time. In Depression-era America, desperation spawned a bizarre fad: the dance marathon where couples competed to stay on their feet for thousands of hours, and audiences flocked to watch. But Gloria (Fonda) doesn't think of herself as a spectacle. She is a fierce, unforgiving contestant in a battle she's determined to win. At stake is much more than the $1,500 prize; the event is her only hope for dignity, accomplishment and salvation.

Film mit Tiefgang

Written on 13. February 2007 by Catherine Deneuve.

Dieser Film ist absolut genial! Er geht auf eine Art und Weise unter die Haut, wie es nur sehr wenige Filme vermögen (z.B. auch "Ekel", ebenfalls hier bei Cede erwerbbar)!
Alles in allem ein intelligentes Drama mit einer ausgezeichneten Jane Fonda in der Hauptrolle - Film nicht zu Unrecht 9fach Oskar nominiert... Unbedingt kaufen & mehrmals anschauen!
interessant!
