Behind the Candelabra
(2013)
Directed by Steven
Soderbergh this film based on real events stars Matt Damon and
Michael Douglas. In 1977 a young man meets Las Vegas performer
Liberace and becomes his live in lover.
Not knowing anything
about Liberace before watching this film was not a hindrance and
while the film is really interesting I'm not sure it ever gets to the
core of how Liberace became Liberace. We only see Liberace in his
twilight years and the script also covers over the protagonists
problems later in life. There are good performances from the stars
but as a biopic I wanted a little more from this film.
3/5
