Crash (2005) starring Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Brendan Fraser, Jennifer Esposito, many others. Directed by Paul Haggis. Racism, crime, HMOs, politics, corruption and many other of the aggravations of living in modern America get their due in this Best Picture Oscar-winning movie. Set in Los Angeles, it tells of the intersecting lives of a cross-section of Angelinos, of all different races and classes, and it does so with dark humor and pathos. It's an ensemble piece, with some big-name actors getting just a small share of the available screen time, and it left me wanting to know more about many of the little stories that played out during the film. That's hardly a flaw, however. This is an absorbing, powerful movie. The subtitles are good. Grade: A
