Magnolija

Slovenski opis filma:

Magnolija je čustven film o človeških značajih. Nominiran je bil za tri oskarje in se ponaša z odlično igralsko zasedbo. Mnogi ga uvrščajo med najboljše filme vseh časov. Med prebivalci doline San Fernando v Kaliforniji spoznamo dvanajst različnih ljudi, ki skupaj nastopajo v prepletajočih se zgodbah, ki sestavljajo smiselno celoto. V središču dogajanja je umirajoči starec Earl Partridge, ki želi pred smrtjo še enkrat videti odtujenega sina Franka. Earlova mlada žena Linda se medtem sooča z moževo skorajšnjo smrtjo. Z njim se je poročila zaradi denarja, zdaj pa spozna, da se je resnično zaljubila vanj.

Originalni opis filma:

24 hours in L.A.; it's raining cats and dogs. Two parallel and intercut stories dramatize men about to die: both are estranged from a grown child, both want to make contact, and neither child wants anything to do with dad. Earl Partridge's son is a charismatic misogynist; Jimmy Gator's daughter is a cokehead and waif. A mild and caring nurse intercedes for Earl, reaching the son; a prayerful and upright beat cop meets the daughter, is attracted to her, and leads her toward a new calm. Meanwhile, guilt consumes Earl's young wife, while two whiz kids, one grown and a loser and the other young and pressured, face their situations. The weather, too, is quirky.
