DVD Diva: Kevin Kline

I would classify Kevin Kline as a "Renaissance actor," if such a term exists. In film, Kline has portrayed every type of character-- from comedies to dramas to Shakespeare. On Broadway, he has musical roles and won two Tony awards. Here is a small sampling of Kevin Kline's movies (in no particular order) that I have enjoyed (click on each DVD to view it in the catalog and place a hold):


The Emperor's Club
When a new student starts in Professor Hundert's class, little does he know that he will change his life forever.







I Love You to Death
A dark comedy about a devoted wife who discovers her pizza-making husband cheating on her, and decides to kill him for breaking her heart. Her plot includes the help of her mother, an oddball busboy and two drug-addled cousins.







The Ice Storm
Filmed in Fairfield County (New Canaan, Greenwich, and Stamford), this movie features two disfunctional families learning to cope with nature-- human nature.








The Big Chill
When seven college housemates reunite at the funeral of a friend, they discover that having entered adulthood as non-conformists, most now belong to the establishment.








The Pirates of Penzance
Gilbert and Sullivan's raucous and comedic operatic tale is captured in all its fun and glory in this production.
