The Beach
“Somewhere on this planet it must exist.”
Director
Danny Boyle
Screenplay
John Hodge
Restless and hungry for authentic adventure, young backpacker Richard arrives in Thailand and comes into possession of a hand-drawn map to a hidden lagoon rumored to be an untouched paradise. He tracks down the secret commune living there, only to discover that Eden curdles fast once obsession, jealousy and violence take root. Danny Boyle turns a traveler's fantasy into a feverish cautionary tale about the myth of escape, shot in seductive tropical color that slowly rots. With Leonardo DiCaprio as the wide-eyed seeker, it charts the dark undertow beneath the postcard dream.
