Fatal Attraction
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Adrian Lyne
1987 / 119min / DCP
The platonic ideal of the erotic thriller and the movie that birthed the phrase “bunny boiler,” Fatal Attraction grounds its genre tropes with astute observation of recognizable human behavior—both midlife masculine self-destruction and jealous wrath. Married Manhattan lawyer Michael Douglas, preparing to relocate his family to Westchester County, forgets his vows with chic editor Glenn Close, and opens up a floodgate of resentful vengeance. Arguably the apex of Lyne’s art, both Douglas and Oscar-nominated Close giving full-on performances, a particular highlight being their absolutely bruising knock-down-drag-out tussle.
