Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), the husband of Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman), is dead. The media interest at the funeral is huge, especially since the wife is suspected of being partly responsible for her husband's demise. It all began with the dream of the attractive woman from the provinces to make a big career in television. Larry was against it, he saw his wife's place more in the domestic sphere. Suzanne, however, was so ambitious that she was willing to pay any price for her fame... Gus Van Sant's (My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting) first Hollywood production is a biting black comedy and bitterly wicked media satire that earned leading actress Nicole Kidman her first Golden Globe in 1996. Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Manchester by the Sea) and the 'Joker' Joaquin Phoenix shine in supporting roles.
