Of Mice and Men 1992
John Steinbeck’s classic comes to life in this beautiful and intriguing film, starring Academy Award nominees John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) and Gary Sinise (The Green Mile). Adapted from Horton Foote’s two-time Oscar-winning work and directed by Sinise, this film is a “must-see miracle”. Best friends Lenny (Malkovich) and George (Sinise) find themselves unemployed in California during the economic crisis. Lenny’s childlike mind leads them to lose their jobs. When they are hired at Tyler’s farm, they excel in their work despite the strict discipline of the boss’s devilish son Curley (Casey Semashko). However, their world shatters when Curley’s unfortunate wife (Sherilyn Fenn, Twin Peaks) falls victim to Lenny’s sympathy. George must now make a compassionate decision.
