Disclosure

Director: Barry Levinson

1994 / 128min / 35mm

The virtual reality scene in Levinson’s business class erotic thriller may have aged pretty laughably, but Disclosure represents a vaulting improvement over the Michael Crichton potboiler about sexual harassment in the world of Seattle big tech that it adapts, thanks in no small part to a cracking Ennio Morricone score, a screenplay tune-up from Paul Attanasio (Quiz Show), and the lead performances by Michael Douglas and Demi Moore, he a hotheaded exec, she his sexually assertive newly promoted superior and onetime girlfriend at “DigiCom,” where the two of them become locked in a “he said, she said” legal battle that gets mighty ugly, with major repercussions threatened in a planned corporate merger. Pure pulp performed with rare vigor and style.
