February marks a new beginning with a host of exciting film releases, including notable titles such as Bong Joon-ho's thriller featuring Robert Pattinson and Steven Soderbergh's Black Bag with Cate Blanchett. For home viewing, streaming services offer classic films such as High Fidelity, starring John Cusack and Jack Black. This romantic comedy-drama adapts Nick Hornby's novel, resonating with '90s counterculture and delivering memorable performances that solidified the actors' careers. Additionally, audiences can look forward to a mix of genres, from horror to romantic sports drama, this month.
If ever there was a generational classic, High Fidelity is it. Stephen Frears' adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel tapped into the zeitgeist of the waning '90s counterculture.
John Cusack's turn as Rob Gordon, the lovelorn proprietor of an independent record shop in downtown Chicago, is easily one of his most iconic.
Jack Black's breakout performance as Barry, Rob's outgoing and comical employee, set the course for the then-little-known musician and actor's eventual stardom.
Lisa Bonet delivers a standout performance as a talented musician and eventual fling of Rob's whose down-to-earth wisdom sets him on the course for what is eventually the film's heartwarming resolution.
