| L.I.E. (2001) | |
|
|
L.I.E. takes place along the Long Island Expressway on which many have lost their lives. The main character Howie is not an exception, because he has lost his mother along the L.I.E.. He is severely neglected by his father who is has legal, financial, and emotional struggles of his own. In addition, his delinquent adolescent friends provide the only source of attention, but their affection is built on a chauvinistically skewed male perception. L.I.E. is a unpleasant and disturbing film that provides moments of distress. However, the story also displays Howie's search for caring affection which he needs in order to find himself. The film will provoke the audience, yet it will also affectionately touch them with human ambiguity. |
