Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Part of the series, Screen Bound: Read the book, watch the movie—or just watch the movie! Join the Cinema Society of Kingston for a film series of literary adaptations, each followed by a fun, book-club-style discussion. Based on the writing of Hunter S. Thompson: Raoul Duke (Depp) and his volatile Samoan attorney Dr. Gonzo (del Toro) are en route to Las Vegas, ostensibly on a banal journalistic assignment, but the suitcase full of psychoactive narcotics in their possession tells another story. Beset by bats, horny lizards and a runaway hotel carpet upon their arrival, the pair plunge deeper into the pharmaceutically enhanced neon underbelly of the City of Sin on a chemically charged savage journey to the heart of the American Dream. "It’s certainly distinctive, looking at times like Richard Lester put through a postmodernist blender." – Chicago Reader "Visually incredible and blessed with great performances from Depp and Del Toro, this is destined for cult classic status." – Empire MagazineAdventurePT1H58MRated 14A2025-07-20
