Painfully beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2001)

After Foreman's "the people vs. Larry Flynt" ,this movie is another excellent example of the director's ability to get the ultimate performance out of his actors. Again the story is about a misunderstood individual who chooses to follow his own ideas rather than limit himself to the standard ideas set by the world that surrounds him. Just like most of Foreman's work he seems to want to make tribunes to people who were really brilliant and suffered for it. Carrey gives an absolutely fantastic performance, and in my eyes is so good that this movie is indeed already a classic.
