This eagerly anticipated, absolutely not-to-be-missed HBO Original Movie Event has been praised by the New York Times as "the most powerful screen adaptation of a play since Elia Kazan's "A Streetcar Named Desire" more than a half-century ago".
Directed by Mike Nichols and written by Tony Kushner based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "Angels in America" is a monumental film achievement, having won five Golden Globe® Awards and eleven Emmy® Awards in 2004, including Best Actor and Best Actress for Al Pacino and Meryl Streep respectively.
Part I, also entitled "Millennium Approaching," commences with the first chapter. Louis Ironson is attending the funeral of his grandmother at a synagogue. With him is his longtime lover Prior Walter. It is obvious that Louis is very uncomfortable with the thought of death.
We next meet powerful lawyer Roy Marcus Cohn (Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winner Pacino, The Merchant Of Venice, The Recruit) on the phone, making a job offer to an idealistic Joe Pitt (Patrick Wilson, The Phantom Of The Opera).
Eventually we come back to Prior and Louis after the funeral. Prior tells Louis about the first lesion on his body--- a deadly harbinger of Prior's oncoming battle with AIDS.
Joe comes home to tell his emotionally-disturbed wife Harper (Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner Parker, Saved!) that Cohn has offered him a job in the Washington D.C. office.
She's not going for it --- she already thinks that their Brooklyn apartment looks like the one in "Rosemary's Baby," and she surely doesn't want to move to D.C. since it was where "The Exorcist" was filmed.
Cohn goes to Doctor Henry (James Cromwell, The Longest Yard, Six Feet Under) and he receives some "very bad news."
