Product description
The story of Ben (Nicholas Cage), a burnt-out alcoholic who gets fired from his production studio and decides to go to Las Vegas on a mission: to drink himself to death. In the city where the bars never close, he meets Sera (Elisabeth Shue), a young prostitute on the run from her former pimp. These two unlikely souls form a unique bond that will profoundly change them forever. What follows is a heart-wrenching portrayal of sacrifice and unconditional love.

' Cage Is Suberb In Las Vegas '
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2019Verified Purchase
This film is one that I am really fond of.
Leaving Las Vegas has many warnings of how alcohol can
dominate a life. Can make someone self destruct and fall from
grace.
Nicolas Cage gives a fine performance as the man who goes to
the bright and dazzling arena of Las Vegas to drink himself into
the grave. The situations the character finds himself in are all trademark,
alcoholic experiences. Becoming lost and embarrising to in public bars. To
being washed up and alone in a swanky hotel.
The fact that the character Cage plays so well meets and becomes emotionally
involved with a lady who is all part of the Las Vegas scene at first seems a positive
move. But the drink does not leave any good future tidings for Mr Cage's character,
and any relationship which develops soon hits the rocks.
A Fine Film and some excellent acting.
Thanks

Figgis adapts and directs to perfection. Elizabeth Shue is surely the finest of all the good time girls (And should have been more amply rewarded at the Oscars). Cage is so brave, so brilliant and unrelenting in his adherence to the truth of his terrible alcoholism. It takes no prisoners.

Love, Loneliness & Despair in an Alcoholic Haze
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2016Verified Purchase
Harrowing stuff. Nicholas Cage plays a brilliant part. The emotional and mental connection, chemistry and bond between Cage and Shue is electric, pure unconditional realistic love which is not focused or based on sex despite Shue being a high class hooker.
Leaving Las Vegas is alcoholism extradonaire, pain, isolation and honesty, two people caught up in waves of self destruction.
Ironically the author, John O'Brien committed suicide in 1994 just weeks after selling the movie rights. The film was a semi-autobiographical story. Director Mike Figgis completed the film as a tribute.
A powerful and emotional film 9/10.

fantastic film , cage is stunning and without doubt its his career defining acting all round performance , shue gives a quite brilliant performance to .if you haven't watched the film your certainly missing out on a fabulous production , the subject for .obvious reasons is a bleak .venture but from the start its an engrossing plot and would be up there with many classic films I have watched cage deserved his Oscar without doubt first class all round .
