Synopsis |
| In
transferring Tony Kushner's Pulitzer
Prize-winning play to the small
screen, director Mike Nichols has
crafted a profound, ambitious
masterpiece. The film follows a
sprawling group of characters as
they navigate their way through the
cutthroat New York City of the
1980s, when AIDS began to rear its
ugly head. Getting sicker by the
minute, Prior Walter is abandoned by
his tormented lover, Louis (Ben
Shenkman); deluded lawyer Roy Cohn
(Al Pacino) is visited by Ethel
Rosenberg (Meryl Streep), a woman he
helped to condemn; and the
pill-popping Harper (Mary-Louis
Parker) is on the verge of losing
her sanity when she realizes that
her husband, Joe (Patrick Wilson),
is a closet homosexual. |
