Description: Going All the Way (The Director's Edit) [New DVD] Director's Cut/Ed, Subtitled Title: Going All the Way (The Director's Edit) Format: DVD Label: Oscilloscope Genre: Drama UPC: 850010804705 Release Date: 2023 OSCILLOSCOPE LABORATORIES presentsGOING ALL THE WAY: THE DIRECTOR’S EDITA film by MARK PELLINGTON Mark Pellington’s adaptation of Dan Wakefield’s seminal novel about a young man coming of age in the 1950s is a timeless story of freedom and repression, friendship and family, sex and love, and the psychological and spiritual struggle to be true to one’s self even if it means going against society’s expectations. In his debut as a feature filmmaker, Pellington constructs an elegant and morally complex tale about two young high school alumni and Korean war veterans returning to their sheltered Indianapolis community, only to find they no longer fit in. As classmates, shy artistic Sonny (distinctly portrayed by Jeremy Davies) and charming, popular Gunner (Ben Affleck in his first lead role) had nothing to do with one another, but now, in the stifling climate of Eisenhower’s America, where prejudice and paranoia rule the day, the two young men find in each other the strength to change their lives and futures. Each must choose between the suffocating, but familiar comforts offered to them by their mothers (Jill Clayburgh, Lesley Ann Warren) and their old flames and friends (Amy Locane, Nick Offerman), or the exciting, but uncertain futures represented by a pair of enthralling new romantic prospects (Rachel Weisz, Rose McGowan). Theirs is an emotionally fraught journey—especially for Sonny, who struggles with self-doubt and thoughts of suicide—but one leavened by moments of humor, uplift, and self-discovery. Originally released in 1997, the newly re-edited and restored version of GOING ALL THE WAY completely upends the original cut, hews closer to the source novel, and cements the film as one of the most aesthetically fresh and thematically fascinating films of the 90s, as well as a testament to the ever-evolving possibilities of cinematic rediscovery.SPECIAL FEATURESMAKING OF – A THREE-PART DOCUMENTARY BY RICHARD SCHENKMANAN INTERVIEW WITH DAN WAKEFIELDPRESS REELNICK OFFERMAN CALLBACKDELETED SCENESTHEATRICAL TRAILERGOING ALL THE WAY: THE DIRECTOR'S EDIT© DirectToU LLC.
