Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2000)

Every so often a film comes along,that unlike most others inspire such inner thought and self reflection that it takes on a life of it's own. American Beauty is filled with such an Immense spectrum of Life it's hard to describe. On the surface Kevin Spacey plays a 42-year-old married man who's lost touch with the Beauty of life, Distant from his wife and daughter he becomes Infatuated with her rather sensual classmate. She awakens his senses and creates some rather interesting circumstances. This by no means can relay the films deeply layered tapestry of suburban life. A brilliant Directorial debut by Sam Mendes, American Beauty will evoke discussion for years to come among film students and film lovers like myself.
