American Beauty

***American Beauty*** (1999) is an American psychological black comedy-drama film written by Alan Ball and directed by Sam Mendes in his directorial debut. It tells the story of Lester Burnham, an advertising executive who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter's best friend. Academics have described the film as satirizing how beauty and personal satisfaction are perceived by the American middle class; further analysis has focused on the film's exploration of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, materialism, self-liberation, and redemption.
