She escapes immediately, taking off to find her son and exact revenge on those who framed her. Lehman, expecting as much, is fast on her trail.

The disturbing and tragic tale of the inner struggle of the woman known to the world as Marilyn Monroe. While the public persona was animated and vivacious, the inner child, Norma Jeane, was afraid of the success and desperate to end it.

Drama
When sweet, straitlaced cop Chris Anderson (Luke Perry) and his self-destructive, live-wire wife, Pam (Ashley Judd), begin to experience financial difficulties, Chris secretly turns to a life of crime to pay the bills. Chris becomes so good at robbing banks that he and his troubled spouse are soon living in the lap of luxury. Pam discovers his new line of work just when he wants to get out--and she wants in.

Director John McNaughton, who previously used well-known actors playing against type with great results in MAD DOG AND GLORY, once again adds emotional depth and satiric bite to his film by casting Judd and Perry--both at the height of their status as 1990s icons of youth and beauty--in the lead roles. The young stars' glamorous veneer gets burned away by the directorial skills of the man responsible for HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, and Judd and Perry--perfect as the struggling young couple longing for nothing more than a normal, happy, suburban existence--help make NORMAL LIFE a compellingly ironic broken-mirror reflection of the American dream.

Drama
In 1990, novelist Paul Auster was asked to contribute a Christmas story to the New York Times. The resulting piece, "Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story," forms the basis for his screenplay for SMOKE. Directed by Wayne Wang and set in a Brooklyn cigar store, Auster expanded the story to include four other characters whose lives intertwine with Auggie Wren’s. As Auggie, the manager of the store that serves as a neighborhood meeting place, Harvey Keitel gives a restrained, mellow performance. The other characters, Paul (William Hurt), a blocked writer; Rashid (Harold Perrineau Jr.), a troubled youth; Ruby (Stockard Channing), Auggie’s former lover; and Cyrus (Forest Whitaker), Rashid’s long-lost father, form a web of relationships over a few summer days. Auster, who had previously adapted his novel THE MUSIC OF CHANCE into a taut script, here exhibits a loose, almost improvisational style as he lets his characters simply talk about their lives. Wang eschews the big, somewhat melodramatic style he used in THE JOY LUCK CLUB for relaxed, natural direction that allows the actors, who are all terrific, to project an everyday realism seldom seen in American movies. The actual Christmas story appears at the end in a beautiful black-and-white montage, accompanied by a bittersweet Tom Waits song.

Drama
