Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Criterion Collection RC1
“We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold.”
It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels towards Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo. But what is ostensibly a cut-and-dried journalistic endeavor quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey and an excoriating dissection of the American way of life. Director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, The Fisher King) and an all-star cast (headlined by Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow) and Benicio Del Toro (Traffic, The Usual Suspects)) show no mercy in bringing Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s legendary 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.
