Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

1998

Hunter S. Thompson's classic account of a drug-addled trip to Las Vegas hits the screen in style thanks to director Terry Gilliam. Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his lawyer (Benicio Del Toro) cross the Nevada desert in a convertible crammed with every conceivable form of hallucinogenic. Their psychedelic nightmare -- complete with flying bats and trash-filled bathtubs -- is stunningly depicted.

Give us your brain for two hours and you will never be the same again.....(Icelandic)
