The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990)
Country: US
Technical: col 125m
Director: Brian De Palma
Cast: Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Kim Cattrall
Synopsis:
A Wall Street trader's precariously poised life unravels when his mistress accidentally knocks over a teenager during a nocturnal trip through the Bronx, and a washed-up journalist allows himself to be harnessed to a media crusade against racial crime in New York City.
Review:
Disastrous adaptation of Tom Wolfe's Thackeray-style satire on Wall Street in the 80s: the casting is way off key, and De Palma is the wrong director for a property that needed a James Bridges or a David Mamet.
