Leaving Las Vegas

Leaving Las Vegas portrays Ben Sanderson, a washed-up screenwriter consumed by alcoholism, who travels to Las Vegas with the aim of drinking himself to death. There, he encounters Sera, a prostitute who forms an uneasy alliance with him, agreeing not to interfere with his self-destructive path. The film's unflinching gaze captures the desolation and despair of their lives, rendered through a stark, unyielding lens that strips away any romanticization of addiction.
