1987’s movie is truly one of the greatest movies ever made about infidelity. This wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill thriller - for many, this was a wake-up call. True, the movie takes things to extremes, but there’s layers of meaning and thought in this film. That’s mostly due to an outstanding cast, with Michael Douglas finding all the subtleties in being an asshole and Glenn Close giving one of her best-ever performances. The only thing holding the movie back is its 1987 attitude toward mental illness and sexual politics. Nevertheless, this movie is still one hell of a thriller that manages to ask a lot of questions with no easy answers. Check to make sure all your bunnies are in their pens as we watch Fatal Attraction this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
