 | Description: | Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While Richard Nixon's "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 Award winning director Ang Lee (LIFE OF PI) renders Rick Moody's acclaimed novel of upper-middle-class 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.The Ice Storm, available on Blu-Ray from the esteemed Criterion Collection, is a masterful drama directed by Ang Lee. Set in 1973 suburban Connecticut, the film explores themes of family dysfunction and societal change during a turbulent era. The story follows two families as they navigate personal crises against the backdrop of an impending ice storm, delivering a poignant reflection on human relationships and emotional isolation.
