Sam Mendes is off to a strong start. In addition to the recent 1917 (2020) or the James Bond Skyfall (2012) and Spectrum (2015), he has directed a number of other films, all very good, including Les Noces Rebelles (2008) with the duo titanic DiCaprio Winslet. But his first feature remains his best to date. The year 1999 saw the birth of a brilliant director and a brilliant film in equal measure. American Beauty received the standing ovation it deserved, winning several Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
