Details: Product Description Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) stars with Oscar nominee Kate Winslet (Titanic) in a powerfully gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller hailed as "provocative" (ABC-TV). An electrifying suspenseful journey into deadly conspiracy and murderous deception begins when a respected professor who may - or may not - be guilty is charged with a brutal crime. The Life of David Gale is a brilliantly unpredictable thriller, which builds relentlessly to a shocking final twist guaranteed to blow you away! Amazon.ca Of Midnight Express to Fame, Alan Parker has shown himself to be a filmmaker who could not be more eclectic. With The Life of David Gale, the director signs a sensitive and intelligent reflection on activism. David Gale, a brilliant university professor, is sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his colleague and abolitionist activist Constance. When he asks journalist Bitsey Bloom to interview him, she is skeptical at first, then gradually discovers the convoluted underside of the affair. Built in flashbacks, The Life of David Gale owes a lot to the interpretation of Kevin Spacey, who manages to bring out the flaws of this seemingly perfect character. A little less solid, Kate Winslet portrays a surly, ambitious and fact-hungry journalist. By situating itself in the field of journalistic investigation, the film questions the limits of militant action by touching on the moral question of the legitimacy of the death penalty. If the whole remains catchy, the confrontation between the condemned man and the young woman never reaches the intensity of The Last March (Tim Robbins). You will have to watch the documentary on the death penalty presented on the DVD to be perfectly satiated. --Helen Faradji Special Features Feature Commentary with Director Alan Parker Death in Texas Deleted Scenes The Making of The Life of David Gale The Music of The Life of David Gale Poster Concepts Theatrical Trailer The Life of David Gale Soundtrack Cast and Filmmakers DVD-ROM Features Recommendations
