Plots(1)
Look closer at the most talked about film. A funny, moving and shocking journey through life in suburban America. Look closer at fortysomething ad man Lester Burnham and his status-seeking wife, Carolyn, as their marriage and lives slowly unravel. Lester's wife hates him, his daughter Jane regards him with contempt, and his boss is positioning him for the axe. Look closer, as Lester decides to make a few changes in his life the freer he gets, the happier he gets. But Lester is about to learn that the ultimate freedom comes at the ultimate price.
