[iTunes] Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Beschreibung

"Den Kofferraum voll mit gefährlichen Drogen: Meskalin, Acid, Kokain, Alkohol, Äther und vielem anderen kleinem Bunten, rasten sie durch die Wüste Nevadas, darauf wartend, dass die Wirkung der Drogen einsetzen würde." Hunter S. Thompson (Johnny Depp) ist mit seinem samoanischen Freak-Anwalt Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Torro) Richtung Las Vegas unterwegs. Am Zielort wartet ein lukrativer Reporterauftrag auf den Gonzo-Journalisten - er soll von einem Motorrennen quer durch die Wüste berichten. Doch dieses Ziel wird angesichts des entfesselten Drogenexzesses schnell nebensächlich...

Biographie der Mitwirkenden

Hunter S. Thompson's weird and hallucinatory book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was in 1998 translated to the screen by director Terry Gilliam, and stars Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo. The film details the duo's journey through Las Vegas as their initial journalistic intentions devolve into an exploration of the city under the influence of psychoactive substances. The music is perfectly fitting in the psychedelic story of the movie. It contains songs used in the film with sound bites of the film before each song. The psychedelic and classic rock songs on the soundtrack includes songs from Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield and the Dead Kennedys. The movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a financial failure, but later gained a cult following and was eventually included in many best of movie lists. The 21st anniversary Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas edition is available for the first time on vinyl. This release has a laser etched D-side and secret inscriptions in the run-out grooves.
