The Beach
The Metrograph, Ludlow Street 7, 10002 New York, Manhattan
About
The film "The Beach" is a steamy thriller adapted from Alex Garland's novel. Director Danny Boyle casts Leonardo DiCaprio as a backpacking beach bum who accepts an invitation to a pristine island in the Gulf of Thailand. His arrival among permanent vacationers and marijuana farmers sets off events that stir up trouble in paradise, a sort of Lord of the Flies for the leisure class.

Critics praise the striking cinematography, the island setting's visual allure, and DiCaprio's charismatic, committed performance. They fault an unfocused, shallow adaptation that softens the novel's darker themes and drifts through disconnected sequences.
