An American Tragedy
9 December 2003
Sometimes, as in the case of this mini-series, all the right elements come together to produce one of the best achievements in American television.

We can be thankful to Tony Kushner for the magnificent play in which this is based. We can give thanks to Mike Nichols for his vision on the possibilities of the material and for assembling and directing the best talent of this generation.

This is such a compelling drama that it would be very hard to get it from one's mind any time soon. The tragedy of AIDS is seen through the playwright eyes. Mr. Kushner presents us different stories that have the same thing in common, basically. He never passes judgment about what caused these people to be afflicted by the disease.

Kudos to an enormous talented cast as they get lost in their roles and in the story. Everything seems real, even though it is fiction.
