To Die For

Gus Van Sant19951h 46mCrime, Thriller, Drama

Why we chose it

In a satire eerily prophetic of the social media age, Gus Van Sant transforms a true story into a razor-sharp, ironic meditation on the relationship between image and morality, employing hybrid storytelling, a mockumentary structure, and an iconic performance by Nicole Kidman.

Synopsis

A woman trapped in a failed marriage dreams of becoming a famous TV presenter. When her husband stands in the way of her ambitions, she manipulates a group of teenagers to eliminate him - convinced that nothing can come between her and fame.
