The Big Chill
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan
1983
★ 5.9 editorial score
The soundtrack went platinum six times over and defined how a generation wanted to remember itself: old college friends reassemble for a funeral and spend the weekend auditing what they became.
“In the course of their weekend together in an extremely photogenic, antebellum mansion outside Beaufort, S.C., the friends move from depression to high spirits, to boozy, druggy confessions, accusations and revelations of long-hidden disappointments. By the end, several members of the group have made important decisions, which may or may not change their lives, while the others resume the routines they left.”
