Angels in America

E' lungo oltre sei ore, tre parti da due e più ore ciascuna sulle tante vite toccate e distrutte dall'Aids nell'America di Ronald Reagan. Parla di omosessuali usciti allo scoperto e di altri ancora nascosti. di coppie che si amano e di altre che si disintegrano, di mormoni e di ebrei e poi dell'Antartide, del buco nell'ozono, delle nevrosi del perdono e persino del fantasma di Erhel Rosenberg (giustiziata nel 1953 in quanto spia sovietica).
