Milk (2008)

USA
Feature Film
Director: Gus Van Sant
Writer: Dustin Lance Black
Cinematographer: Harris Savides
Composer: Danny Elfman
Cast: Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, James Franco, Alison Pill

Despite Elfman’s occasionally gooily swooning score and the unavoidable genre frailties inherent to the biopic (how many interesting charcters are introduced only to be barely seen again?), Van Sant’s portrait of the (political) life and (physical) death of gay activist Harvey Milk, is, thanks mainly to some fine performances, a thoroughly engrossing and informative yet human work.
