To Die For
1995
**
Director: Gus Van Sant
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon, Joaquin Phoenix, Illeana Douglas, Alison Folland, Casey Affleck, Dan Hedaya
A disappointing black comedy about a young woman who wants to become a news anchor and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. The gimmicky monologues to the camera ultimately destroy the film. Buck Henry scripted from Joyce Maynard's novel.
