“I never saw u0026quot;Death Becomes Heru0026quot; when it first come out because of a review I had read somewhere. The review was dismissive and made a lot of sense, so I decided to give it a miss. What a terrible mistake! This is a movie I would love to see on a big screen. The script is so brilliantly clever. Disguised as a silly comedy there is a world of serious themes executed by a knowing cast. Meryl Streep in particular, playing convincingly an actress without talent. I remember the bad review criticized the writers for setting the story in a rainy, stormy Los Angeles when California was going through a drought. Imagine if a comedy about magic potions should worry about the accuracy of the weather. In fact the Los Angeles of u0026quot;Death Becomes Heru0026quot; feels more like Los Angelers than most realistic movies and it does it with nerve and wit. u0026quot;In 12 years in Los Angeles have you ever seen a neighbor?u0026quot; screams Meryl to his mousy Bruce. An absolute delight. Other hidden treasures are a cameo from Sidney Pollack and a very funny and very sexy u0026quot;76 years oldu0026quot; Isabella Rossellini. A new cult classic and a total must.”
