'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' at the Beverly Theater

This week, we review FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998, 118 minutes) Directed by Terry Gilliam. Playing at The Beverly, November 26. For tickets and info: The Beverly Theater

It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels toward Las Vegas—accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo—to cover a motorcycle race. What should be a cut-and-dried journalistic assignment quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey. Director Terry Gilliam and an all-star cast, headlined by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, show no mercy in bringing Hunter S. Thompson’s excoriating dissection of the American way of life to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.
