Sinopsis:Ben es un alcohólico cuya vida se está yendo al traste. Decide irse a Las Vegas, la ciudad donde los bares nunca cierran, para beber hasta morir. Allí conoce a Sera, una prostituta. Se aceptan, se enamoran, se separan y se reencuentran. Una maravillosa historia sobre dos personas que aprenden a aceptarse el uno al otro, sobre cómo en medio de la oscuridad puede surgir una pequeña llama de esperanza en sus vidas.(Alpacine)

"Bello y granítico directo a las buenas costumbres" (Luis Martínez: Diario El País)
Nicolas Cage (60 segundos, Next) y Elisabeth Shue (El santo, El hombre sin sombra) protagonizan la trágica historia de dos almas perdidas que encuentran juntos una luz al final del túnel de sus patéticas vidas. El director Mike Figgis se basó en una novela de John O'Brien, escritor que no pudo ver su obra en la pantalla, pues desgraciadamente se suicidó unos días antes del estreno de la película. El film es duro y en algún momento resulta excesivo en su tratamiento del sexo, especialmente en su rebuscado desenlace. La desgarrada y cruda interpretación de Cage le valió el Oscar al mejor actor. La película obtuvo además otras tres nominaciones en las categorías de actriz, director y guión adaptado (
DeCine21).
AMG Synopsis: Mike Figgis' grim drama documents a romantic triangle of sorts involving prostitute Sera (Elisabeth Shue), failed Hollywood screenwriter Ben (Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage), and the constant flow of booze which he loves more dearly than life itself. Arriving in Las Vegas with the intention of drinking himself to death, Ben meets Sera, and they gradually begin falling for one another. From the outset, however, Ben warns Sera that no matter what, she can never ask him to quit drinking, a condition to which she grudgingly agrees. A darkly comic tragedy, Leaving Las Vegas charts the brief romantic convergence of two desperately needy people who together find a brief flicker of happiness.
AMG Review: Leaving Las Vegas is the rarest of love stories that revolves around acceptance and resignation in the face of defeat, rather than salvation and emotional triumph. Bleak, morose, and doggedly determined to stick to its principles, the film was unique in its resolve to observe, rather than attempt to save, its protagonist. For this reason alone, its enthusiastic reception by critics and audiences alike was not so much surprising as encouraging: in an industry and society where happy endings, no matter how contrived, are thought to be the only way to sell a film, Leaving Las Vegas stood out as a beautiful exception to the rule. There is never any doubt that Nicolas Cage's Ben is going to go through with his plan to kill himself, nor is there any reason to believe that Elisabeth Shue's Sera will be the woman who changes him with her love. Their romance is built on mutual need, but not the need for a happy ending. Aside from the stellar work of Cage and Shue--the latter resurfacing from almost complete obscurity with her Oscar-nominated portrayal--one of the best performances in Leaving Las Vegas comes from its soundtrack. A haunting, moody jazz score composed by writer/director Mike Figgis himself, it perfectly complements the film's narrative, oozing with a graceful, understated foreboding. Rarely has a soundtrack been so intrinsic to a film's subject matter. A beautiful, deceptively reckless meditation on love, death, and the intractability of human will, Leaving Las Vegas has much in common with its central character: darkly charismatic and abiding by its own rules, it charms even as it devastates.

Notes:
The international BDs and HD-DVDs are a little unsharp with a lot of grain. But better than DVD Sources.
I used some filters like sharpen and anti grain to optimize the video quality.
