The TVI Take
Ang Lee's 1997 Connecticut-suburban-1973-set film anchored by Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Allen, Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, and Elijah Wood. The structural commitment to letting the early-1970s post-Watergate, sexual-revolution-fatigue suburban-cognitive register be the actual subject is the canonical mid-1990s Lee work.
