Synopsis
Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While the Watergate
hearings blast from the TV, the wayward Hood and Carver families try to
navigate a Thanksgiving break simmering with unspoken resentments,
sexual experimentation, and cultural confusion. With crystalline
clarity, characteristic subtlety, and even a dose of wicked humor,
Academy Award–winning director Ang Lee adapts Rick Moody's acclaimed
novel of American malaise into a trenchant, tragic portrait of lost
souls. Featuring a tremendous cast of established actors (Kevin Kline,
Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver) and up-and-coming stars (Tobey Maguire,
Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Katie Holmes), The Ice Storm is one of the finest films of the nineties.
