| | Description: | Bret Easton Ellis' controversial, best-selling novel of the seamy underside of L.A. yuppie life becomes a stylish, riveting film. Returning to Los Angeles for Christmas break, college freshman Clay (Andrew McCarthy) finds former high school girlfriend Blair (Jami Gertz) and best friend Julian (Robert Downey, Jr.) are now inhabiting a world of drugs, sex, and shallow thrills that threatens to engulf them. With James Spader, Nicholas Pryor. 98 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 4.0, Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, Spanish; TV spots; theatrical trailers."Less Than Zero" on DVD by 20th Century Fox is a gripping film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's acclaimed novel, capturing the disillusionment and moral decay of affluent Los Angeles youth in the late 1980s. The story follows Clay, a college student returning home for Christmas, as he confronts the devastating spiral of his best friend Julian into addiction and self-destruction, while navigating a complicated love triangle and a world of superficial excess. The DVD edition offers a clear, faithful presentation of the original movie, allowing viewers to experience its moody atmosphere, stylish visuals, and haunting portrait of privilege, emptiness, and lost innocence. Through its blend of drama, romance, and social critique, "Less Than Zero" remains a compelling time capsule of the 1980s and a timeless exploration of personal responsibility and moral choices.
20th Century Fox, the studio behind this release, ranks among the most influential film companies in Hollywood history and is known for combining commercial reach with memorable, often daring storytelling. Over decades, the studio has been associated with iconic cinematic franchises and acclaimed stand-alone films, building a reputation for strong production values, major stars, and international distribution. With "Less Than Zero," 20th Century Fox brings its production expertise to a smaller, character-driven story that spotlights the darker side of glamour and success.
The cast is led by Andrew McCarthy, who became one of the defining faces of 1980s cinema. Known for his roles in beloved films of that decade, he established himself as a versatile actor capable of portraying sensitive, conflicted young men torn between comfort and conscience. His work across drama and coming-of-age stories has contributed significantly to the era's pop-culture identity. Robert Downey Jr. delivers one of his early standout performances as Julian, bringing emotional depth and vulnerability to a character caught in a destructive downward spiral. Downey Jr. would later become internationally renowned for his leading roles in major blockbuster franchises and for his acclaimed work in both drama and comedy, widely celebrated for his charisma and range.
The film also features Jami Gertz, whose performances in 1980s films and television helped establish her as a recognizable talent of the period. Her presence adds emotional resonance and complexity to the love triangle at the center of the story. Behind the camera, director Marek Kanievska shapes the material into a sleek yet unsettling vision of Los Angeles, emphasizing both the allure and the hollowness of its glamorous surface. The creative team, together with the actors, crafts a film that reflects the anxieties of its time while still speaking to contemporary audiences about excess, alienation, and loyalty. | | | Actors: |
