Chasing Amy (1997)
Directed by Kevin
Smith this film stars Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams and Jason Lee. A
comic book writer falls for a girl at a comic book convention only to
find out she is a lesbian.
It is a rare romantic
comedy that actually has any depth to it but this is one of the best
you are likely to come across in a genre that is littered with
cynical paint by numbers efforts. A number of themes including
sexuality, gender roles and sexual history are explored in a mature
fashion while the film manages to remain genuinely funny. Despite
this film being shot on a tiny budget you would be hard pressed to
realise that from watching it and this film is well worth watching.
4/5
