FILM "READY TO DO ANYTHING"

TO DIE FOR | GUS VAN SANT | USA, 1995, 1h46 | DCP

Cast: Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon, Casey Affleck…

This is the story of the alluring Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman), a young weather presenter for a local channel, convinced that fame is the ultimate goal of existence. To succeed, she is ready to do anything. Really anything? Yes, and without a second thought.

When Gus Van Sant adapts the novel by Joyce Maynard, he ruthlessly exposes the dark foundations of the American way of life. Suzanne never doubts: "I always knew who I was and who I wanted to be. You are nothing in America if you don’t appear on TV." Her husband Larry (Matt Dillon) won’t be an obstacle for long. As for the young Jimmy, a lost teenager played by Joaquim Phoenix, he finds Suzanne "clean." This icy blonde with an unchanging smile? Super creepy, yeah! With jubilant ferocity, Van Sant weaves a narrative where past, present, and future intertwine. Inspired by a true story, To Die For is a little gem crafted with sulfuric acid.
