Recensione di ksf-2

Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, and the awesome Frances McDormand. Douglas is Tripp, college professor, who is also writing a book, of course, as all english professors do. And shagging the chancellor, Sara (McDormand). Tripp narrates many of the scenes, and seems to be telling us what is really going on in his mind. There are many issues going on around Tripp, as with many of us. One of his students brandishes a gun, and loves talking about suicide. One rents a room from him. His editor (Robert Downey) wants an update on his book. Gender bending. Pregnancy. And as usual, in a Frances McDormand film, at a certain point, things go off the rails. It's quite well done, and we can't look away. Gotta see this through to the end! It's a week in the crazy life of professor Tripp. Like he says at the beginning, he's got Tenure! Directed by Curtis Hanson. Won the oscar for LA Confidential. Written by Michael Chabon, who has written a mix of novels, screenplays, and television. Good film, but i guess the product placement for Howard Johsons Grill didn't help... i think they're all gone now. Same for Bell Atlantic.
