Returning for another Tennessee Williams-penned screenplay with then-husband and frequent collaborator Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor commands the screen as a terminally-ill, domineering woman who reigns over her very own kingdom of seclusion. Edging ever closer to death, wealth and self-appointed power do little to mask her emptiness. Could her volatile and passionate romance with a mysterious newcomer be the answer, or just part of a bigger question? Taylor and Burton’s chemistry reaches explosive heights in Boom!
“It’s the other side of camp. It’s beautiful, atrocious, and it’s perfect. It’s a perfect movie, really, and I never tire of it.” – John Waters
