Product Description

Product Description

Selected as the opening night premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, The Laramie Project is a ground-breaking film based on the true story of a town’s loss of innocence following the murder of a 21 year old University of Wyoming student.

Moises Kaufman (writer and director) and members of New York’s Tectonic Theatre Project went to Laramie, Wyoming after the murder of Matthew Shepard. This is a film version of the play they wrote based on more than 200 interviews they conducted in Laramie. It mixes real news reports with actors portraying friends, family, cops, killers and other Laramie residents in their own words. It concludes with a Laramie staging of Angels in America a year after Matthew Shepard’s death.

From Amazon.co.uk

Even though The Laramie Project has been edited down from almost three hours (the original length of the play) to a lean 96 minutes, the harrowing nature of the subject matter--the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard--and the clarity of the voices of the inhabitants of Laramie, Wyoming, give this film a remarkable emotional power. The Laramie Project was created from over 200 interviews conducted with Laramie residents before, during, and after the trials of the two boys who killed Shepard; the interviews create an amazing cross-section of American views on homosexuality, religion, class, privacy, and so much more besides. Even though it features an all-star cast--Steve Buscemi, Janeane Garofalo, Christina Ricci, Peter Fonda, and Laura Linney are only a few of the recognisable faces--the material has not been glamorised and the performances are both honest and intimate. Even abbreviated, it's a remarkable piece of work. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 starsTough stuff
By maz on 26 Aug. 2003
Format: DVD
As long as you're human, you can't help but be touched by the events surrounding the making of this film.
In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and left for dead. Five days later he died, and Laramie bacame one of the most talked about towns in America - the reason - Matthew was gay.
The beauty of the Laramie Project is that it doesn't focus on the murder of Matthew itself, but on the aftermath, and the lives of those left confused by events they thought could never happen in their town.
Stunning performances by a talented cast as well as some actual news footage make this film compelling viewing. I came away both horrified and touched by the senselessness and beauty of human nature, a theme this film juxtaposes effortlessly.
The Laramie Project is tough viewing, but definitely worth making time for.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Distressing Masterpiece
By Ms. S. A. Pinkus on 26 Nov. 2006
Format: DVD
The Laramie Project is an awakening and significant film. It concentrates on the true story of Matthew Shepard, a young homosexual man murdered for his sexuality by two boys of similar age to himself. The interviews based on real life residents of Laramie along with the details surrounding Matthews's brutal murder evoke reflection, shock and mournfulness for the viewer. It is an emotional piece of work, highlighting the ever present prejudices existing within contemporary society. The film acts as a disturbing commemoration of a tragic tale that should not be forgotten. Special features include interviews with cast members and the residents they played, interestingly not just about the making of the film, but about their thoughts on the issues dealt with and how they felt about playing these characters. A definite must see, with a big box of tissues at hand!

5.0 out of 5 starsA must see!
By A Customer on 29 Dec. 2003
Format: VHS Tape
Having heard about this film through film magazines I decided I would give it a go. And i wasnt disappointed! The film is beautifully done with an ensemble cast as impressive as any major Hollywood film (I'm thinking Magnolia).
We never meet the victim, Matthew Shepherd, but we learn so much about him. We follow his last days on the earth, from visiting a bar through to his remaining hours. Actors play the residents of Laramie, who talk about their experiences and thoughts of the murder. Interwoven into the story are real life news broadcasts from the time of the murder which hit home the reality of this story.
I defy anyone to watch this and not feel a little emotional. Top marks goes to the scene in the courtroom where Shepherd's dad talks to the jury. This scene will bring a tear to even the most cynical of eyes!
Watch this, enjoy this, and think about it. Films like this do not come around too often!

5.0 out of 5 stars"I guess I didn't understand the magnitude with which some people hate"
By B. Alcat on 21 May 2006
Format: DVD
"The Laramie Project" is an adaptation of the play of the same name, written by Moises Kaufman and based on the interviews he and his group had in 1998 with many of Laramie's inhabitants, after the callous beating up of Matthew Shepard in that relatively small town of Wyoming. Matthew, a young man that was living in Laramie and that happened to be gay, was a victim, and became a symbol. But as another reviewer said, he was first and foremost a human being that deserved to live.

Matthew died due to the injuries received in what was defined as a hate crime. He was gay, and two men took exception to it, beating him up and leaving him tied to a fence. The man that discovered him the following day thought at first he was a scarecrow. He was so disfigured that he just didn't seem a person any more. Matthew was taken to a hospital, where he stayed in a comma until he died, a week later.

The interviews allow us to witness what the people of Laramie were thinking regarding this event, something closely linked to their views on religion, homosexuality, tolerance and a lot more. One character said something that made a big impact on me, and that explains a lot: "I guess I didn't understand the magnitude with which some people hate".

On the whole, I think this is an excellent film, and I am sorry I didn't watch it before. I strongly recommend it to you, as a great film with a good message.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful
By Dominique Ross on 10 Sept. 2005
Format: DVD
This film really touched me, it was really well done and it's such an effective method, we never meet Matthew yet through the expieriences and emotions conveyed by all the other characters you learn so much about him and his take on life. I recommend this film very highly and for those who are expecting it to be violent, you never see any images of Matthew beaten etc. which I think is what makes this film so wonderful, that it doesn't try and shock you into thinking about the case, it does that well enough through the powerful emotions and stories told.
[...] Something to have a look at if you want to follow up your knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Powerful Film
By Fox in the Box on 29 Dec. 2012
Format: DVD
The Laramie Project was a film produced by HBO around 2002 and was based on the play of the same name. The plot of the film focuses on the town of Laramie, Wyoming and its residents following the murder of 21 year old College freshman, Matthew Shepard, in October 1998.

Being based on a play, the first thing to note is that the film is literally word for word like the play, so if you are in any way familiar with the contents of the play itself, you should find this film a real experience to view, and take that from me.

The actors in the film portray Laramie residents from the time of the murder, whether they be ranchers, doctors, shop owners, college students, the accused, cops or judges; it really doesn't matter. The overall theme of the film is that everybody has/had a story to tell in relation to this shocking crime.

Finally, just to point this out, Matthew Shepard himself is never shown to us, the viewer, onscreen and this really is powerful when watching the film. You don't see him, so you cannot get an image of him which adds to the shock, grief and pain felt by the residents because of the crime done to him. As a result, you really feel the same feelings as the Laramie residents themselves while watching the film.

Overall, the Laramie Project is an absolute powerful film and one that is really worthy of a watch. Also, if you can get your hands on the play of the same name, I highly recommend you do so.

Buy it.

Thanks for reading this review. I hope it helps.
