Angels In America
HBO Home VideoOne of the finest dramatic works ever produced for the stage is adapted into a legendary television movie. We hate to sell you this masterpiece for just the nudity, but Justin Kirk ("Weeds") shucks his clothes! Essential, historic, disturbing ? this one will raise the hair on the back of your neck. It's got sex, romance, gay Mormons, an old male Rabbi played by Meryl Streep and of course an angel.
Reasons to Buy
- One of the finest gay films made.
- You'll want to watch it from beginning to end...over and over.
- And as a side benefit, the film doesn't stint on nudity or gay sex.
