Product Description
This is the movie that Leonardo DiCaprio received an Oscar nomination for, five years before "Titanic". And, in fact, this is the movie that should have made him a star, he's so good in it. Based on the novel by Peter Hedges (who adapted his own book) and directed by Lasse Hallstr??m ("My Life as a Dog"), this is the funny, moody tale of a young man named Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) who lives at home in a small town with his 500-pound Momma (beautifully played by nonpro Darlene Cates), his mentally retarded younger brother Arnie (DiCaprio, utterly convincing), and his sisters. Not a lot happens--Arnie keeps climbing a water tower and getting stuck; Gilbert is involved with a married woman (Mary Steenburgen), then meets a nice new girl in town who's closer to his age (Juliette Lewis). And that's exactly what makes this movie so much more than your run-of-the-mill Hollywood product: it's not about some mechanical, formulaic plot; it's about these characters, and it allows you to spend some time with them and get to know them. Depp may have started out as a TV teen idol on "21 Jump Street", but his feature film choices since then--in such wonderfully offbeat and diverse movies as "Cry-Baby", "Edward Scissorhands", "Benny & Joon", "Donnie Brasco"--have made him one of the most interesting, unpredictable, and risk-taking young actors in American movies. "--Jim Emerson"

Très fidèle au roman de Peter Hedges dont il est tiré il nous dépeint avec tout à la fois réalisme, lyrisme et une certaine magie une famille d'une Amérique profonde où tous les maux semblent avoir été réunis (une mère obèse, un frère aîné sur les épaules duquel tout repose depuis que le père s'est pendu, un jeune frère atteint de graves troubles mentaux, des conditions de vie précaires dans une maison qui menace à tout moment de s'effondrer) et où pourtant le maître mot est l'amour, le lien serré existant entre tous ces personnages (il faut également ajouter deux sœurs et un frère qui a préférer partir).
Ce film touchant, très émouvant, ne tombe jamais dans le mélodramatique et nous offre à chaque fois une grande leçon d'humanité et d'espoir en la vie. On en ressort grandi, bouleversé, émerveillé.
Toutes les comédiennes et tous les comédiens, même ceux ayant un rôle "secondaire", sont magnifiques. Johnny Depp rayonne d'humanité, Leonardo di Caprio est époustouflant dans le rôle plus que difficile du jeune homme atteint de grave déficience mentale (à 18 ans il a un cerveau d'un enfant de 5 ans) tout comme Darlene Cates qui incarne avec maestria le rôle de la mère obèse mais pétrie d'amour pour tous ses enfants. Sans oublier Juliette Lewis, Mary Steenburgen,.... Pour être honnête il faudrait tous les citer.
Un chef d'œuvre à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte.
