Leaving Las Vegas

USA 1995 | 110 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Mike Figgis' claustrophobic study of two lost souls in the Nevada desert town - a prostitute and a man suffering from alcoholic despair. Leaving Las Vegas is a dark work that does not follow the typical Hollywood formulas. There is no didactic preaching or some enlightening lesson. Nicolas Cage gives a chilling, authentic, candid, and perhaps his best performance.
