Two films, fantastic contrast

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2000)

I finally got to see this earlier in the week after missing it while in the US in the fall. I wasn't disappointed, it's a really heady mix comedy and everyday tragedy all bound together with fantastic acting, not only from Kevin Spacey, but the three teenagers were superb. The thing that hit me most was the way that there are two movies here, a really funny comedy and a complete thought provoking tragedy, when put together the contrast is completely stunning.
On a lighter note, anybody know how long the shot took to film with the plastic bag floating about??
