Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) lives in Endore, an American small town. Living there is like dancing without music, Gilbert says. Life seems to pass him by, and it feels like he would take care of his mentally disturbed brother Arnie (Leonardo Di Caprio) forever. But then one day Becky (Juliette Lewis) comes to Endora and Gilbert gets second thoughts. Lasse Hallström has directed this gripping and beautiful tuned drama. Sven Nykvist stands for the photo and a young Leonardo Di Caprio impresses in the role of Arnie. Leonardo Di Caprio was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance.
