The Ice Storm, trailer
Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While Richard Nixons I am not a crook speech drones from the TV, the Hood and Carver families try to navigate a Thanksgiving break simmering with unspoken resentment, sexual tension, and cultural confusion. With clarity, subtlety, and a dose of wicked humor, Academy Awardwinning director Ang Lee renders Rick Moodys acclaimed novel of uppermiddleclass American malaise as a trenchant, tragic cinematic portrait of lost souls. Featuring a tremendous cast of established actors (Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver) and rising stars (Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Katie Holmes) The Ice Storm is among the finest films of the 1990s. directed by Ang Lee, 1997
