The tone and meaning of 'American Beauty’ remains debated by scholars and critics today.

Seen by some as a dry satire on the hollow existence of the American suburbs, by others as a meditation in the beauty of the mundane. It defies categorisation & remains one of the most interesting views of the American microcosm from the end of the 20th century.

5 Oscars were given, first time screenwriter Alan Ball and first time director Sam Mendes included.
