Boom




Written by the infamous Tennessee Williams and directed by Josephy Losey, this 1968 Elizabeth Taylor classic shows how one can have everything except what they really need. Materialism only goes so far and without health and happiness one really becomes the poorest in the world. With a budget of $10 million USD, breathtaking landscapes of Sardinia, and exceptional costumes/wardrobe not to mention the undying chemistry between English Elizabeth and Welsh Richard Burton this film browsed carefully on many delicate questions on life and death.

Running for 113 minutes, the audience is mesmerized every step of the way not only by Taylor's exceptional acting but also by her enormous beauty and grace. Clever dialogue, great transitions and good pacing, Williams left no stone un-turned. 

An exciting exploration of memories, the future, true wealth, and poetic dialogue that will keep you posing questions on nothing and everything all at once! :)) Drama, thriller, romance & passionate acting!

One of my favourite quotes from this film was: "Passports expire and so do invitations!"
