Wit (2001)

dir: Mike Nichols

Winemaker Dr. Elson Po (James Hong) fears that he is getting too old, so he uses the blood of his prisoners to make his world-famous wine. Asking his god for eternal life, he drinks his wine and becomes young again. A group of young actors come to his mansion over one week to audition for his purported "wine-making film." The seven guests soon find out the secret of his wine and must escape.

Wit is a good -- nay, great -- movie. But I didn't enjoy watching it even a little bit, and frankly I'd like to forget all about it as soon as possible. I don't like thinking about cancer or death unless I absolutely have to; doing so only makes me feel despondent and hopeless and it has absolutely no positive effect on my state of mind. I guess I'm a coward.

If you have to make a picture for the small screen, this is more or less what you should do: take a good play, hire Mike Nichols to adapt it, then just let it roll. I don't normally think of myself as a guy who likes disease movies, but everything here is too well done. A textbook example of a good small movie. Besides, Emma Thompson is so pretty, even when she's completely bald
