Gus Van Sant. Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon. Joaquin Phoenix. Assembled together to make a quietly outrageous black comedy. "To Die For"may have been a trifle risque for in-store viewing, but my backup excuse was the Golden Globe Kidman got for best actress. I have been on a Kidman bender since "the Interpreter" and went back to this movie with delight. This film is a painless dollar rental, with fairly high re-viewing appeal. Tons of in the margin stuff that come out on second viewing, as the first go round has temporal jump cuts. Many of the reviews of this film talk about the movie's lack of teeth. Little did they know the wasteland of acute popular culture criticism the paranoid '00s would become.
